Ion engines were known to emit mildly radioactive byproducts, requiring onboard technicians to wear protective gear. Because of this radioactivity, and the disabling effects that ions had on electronics and electrical systems, it was common protocol for most ships to utilize repulsorlifts for propulsion during atmospheric flight and reserve use of the more powerful ion drives for orbital navigation. The most noted craft using ion drives were TIE Fighters, who received their name in accordance with the number of ion engines they used: Twin Ion Engine.

- Ion drive is a type of propulsion technology used in space vessels, which operates by accelerating ions to create thrust. Ion drive was first used by Humans in the late 20th century, and the International Space Agency's Ares IV was powered by a third generation ion drive engine. (VOY episode: "One Small Step") The Romulans used ion drive ships, such as the Shirekral-class, into the late 23rd century. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation) The Senuta also used ion drive vessel in the mid 24th century. (SCE eBook: Foundations)
- The ion drive is a method of transport through space. The primary propulsion system aboard any spacecraft larger than 30 meters, the Ion drive functions by expelling a stream of electrically charged molecules from the thruster - resulting in a blue beam of light emitting from the drive of the starcraft. Though they cannot achieve speeds nearly as high as that of combustion-based systems, ion drives are nevertheless the primary form of propulsion for nearly all spacecraft. They are exponentially more economical than CTDs, and they can directly tap into the ship's fusion reactor, meaning that they do not require an external source of renewable fuel like CTDs do.
- An ion drive was a type of propulsion that used an electric field to accelerate charged particles and eject them at high velocities (in some designs, the particles approached the speed of light). This type of propulsion was used by many pre-warp civilizations to propel probes and lightweight spacecraft once they were in open space. The thrust produced was quite gentle, often requiring intervals from hours to weeks to reach full velocity. The Ares IV was powered by a third-generation ion drive. (VOY: "One Small Step")
- An ion drive was a type of engine. They characteristically pulsed, allowing K9 to detect one when it was nearby. (TV: Underworld) The spaceship Shadow had an ion drive system, including an "ion chamber". (TV: Enlightenment) The exodus ships that left Red Rocket Rising and were subsquently destroyed by the Daleks ran on ion drive engines. When these ships were blown up, "what you [got]" was ionotronic dust. (AUDIO: Blood of the Daleks)
- An ion drive is a form of propulsion used on spaceships of the Serrakins and Hebridians society. These engines are powered using liquid nitrogen, a means far ahead of Earth's level of technology before the development of the Daedalus-Class warship in 2005

| - Ion Drive is the next step up from Hyperdrive. It enables ships to travel slightly faster through normal space, and unlike other attempted propulsion technologies, remains stable when traveling through the warped space created by the Hyperdrive.

These engines are powered using liquid nitrogen, a means far ahead of Earth's level of technology before the development of the Daedalus-Class warship in 2005 Because of this, upon the engine's discovery by the Tau'ri in 2003, Major Samantha Carter had a keen interest in discovering the intricacies of the engine. To that end, later that year, she helped Warrick Finn attempt to win the Loop of Kon Garat in order to get a closer look at the ion engines aboard the Sebrus.
