* '''Stellar Engine''' — Any "Hypothetical" "Device" that "Uses" the "Energy Output" of a "Star" to "Generate" "Useful Work" — "Including" "Moving" the "Star."
* '''Shkadov Thruster''' — (Leonid Shkadov, 1987). A "Megastructure" consisting of a "Giant Mirror" "Placed" "Asymmetrically" near a "Star" to "Create" a "Net Thrust" to "Move" the "Star."
* '''Caplan Thruster''' — (Matthew Caplan, 2019). A "More Powerful Stellar Engine" that "Scoops" "Hydrogen" from the "Solar Wind" and "Burns" it in "Fusion Thrusters."
* '''Dyson Sphere''' — (See Article 704). The "Classic" "Type II Megastructure" for "Harvesting" "Total Stellar Energy."
* '''Gravity Tractor''' — "A Spacecraft" that "Hovers" near an "Asteroid" and uses its own "Gravity" to "Slowly Deflect" the "Object's Path."
* '''Planetary Shield''' — "A System" of "Mirrors" or "Lasers" "Positioned" to "Deflect" "Incoming Asteroids" from "A Planet."
* '''Mass Driver''' — (Electromagnetic Launcher). "A Device" that "Launches" "Raw Materials" into "Space" for "Megastructure Construction."
* '''Heliopause Engineering''' — "Hypothetical" "Modification" of the "Outer Heliosphere" to "Control" "Cosmic Ray Flux."
* '''Solar System Sculpting''' — "The Long-Term" "Rearrangement" of "Planets," "Asteroids," and "Comets" to "Optimize" a "Solar System."
* '''Type III Engineering''' — "Megaprojects" at **"Galactic Scale"**: "Connecting Stars" with "Wormholes," "Harvesting Black Holes."
