Its a rocket propulsion system AND an electrical power generator. Two for the mass of one!

I did include a bit on my favorite Icehouse game: HomeWorlds

And for future games, I was reminded of Andrew Looney's Martian Chess variant: http://www.wunderland.com/icehouse/MartianChess.html

BiModel NTR sounds like this might be useful for Orbital RPG. Must investigate...

Yep, the local bubble. I think it was about 30 years ago I learned about it, and realized it was bad news for Bussard Ramjets. And yes, proton-proton fusion is almost impossible to do unless you use a star to confine it

Nyrath

Another example of a unique trade good, are the Sunstones found only on Zarathustra, in Piper's _Little Fuzzy_.

The other issue with the Bussard ramjet is that Sol is located inside a large "bubble" probably created by a supernova and the H density is actually worse than the galactic average. Also, don't you have to get to about 14,000,000C to have proton fusion?
