A vectral was an engine component designed to scatter and dampen exhaust emissions, thereby reducing a starfighter's sensor profile. Koensayr Manufacturing's BTL Y-wing starfighters employed disk-shaped vectrals at the end of their Ion Jet engines. The vectrals also served as a steering mechanism by redirecting the exhaust in flight to alter the ship's heading.
