Escorter.. some have visable drives some don't. There's no big mystery.
It's like an math axiom. It Just IS.

it's a game, not a rocket work shop.

Okay, I get the point. Descent is \"just-a-game\", with a lot of strange things.
As Wikipedia said:
\"It is possible that they were intended to be an enigma by the creators of the games.\"
