	~~'''~~Ion Beam Accelerators ~~Official Entry'''~~		Alien flying submarines rely on complex power systems to drive them at incredible speed through the deeps. The basis for their technology is the ION DISPLACER, utilising Zrbite as a catalyst, the engines displae 100 times their own volume in water per second. This enormous power means that the aiens' are capable of outrunning most Earth subs. We can replicate this system of propulsion using aqua-plastics and Zrbite power cells.

	Some Ion Beam Accelerators contain [[Zrbite]] clusters that are worth 50 units of Zrbite. Identifiable by a yellow bar/ovoid superimposed over the southeast wall of the Ion Beam Accelerator. Basically, the IBA is a tile, the Zrbite is an object, so the object (Zrbite) will appear on top of the tile (IBA). Ion Beam Accelerators explode when damaged; and being the the only means of obtaining Zrbite, try not destroy these just to kill nearby aliens. IBAs explode when damaged in an unusual pattern: They have a very small blast radius, but the force of the explosion is strong enough to destroy an Alien Sub's outer hull, and yet can leave an aquanaut standing next to the IBA unharmed from the blast.
