Triggering a modern [[fusion engine]] to self-destruct is a relatively complex procedure due to the large number of safety systems specifically designed to prevent them from exploding. Generally the pilot must selectively cripple these, often by crude methods such as when [[Kai Allard-Liao]] famously pulled the engine control circuits on [[Twycross]] to trigger hidden explosives and destroy the [[Falcon Guard]] <ref name=BoKOepub-289>''Blood of Kerensky Omnibus Epub'', pp. 289-299 "Lost Destiny - Chapter Thirty-Six"</ref> or by attempting to manually override the engine's safety systems.
