Acclamator and Delta7 engines

The engines of Acclamator-class transport and Delta-7 Aethersprite Light interceptor starfighter have some structure just inside the thrust nozzle. What do think that thing is there for?

Just an engine part.

Perhaps part of the thrust vectoring system.

Yes, both of these craft have structures at the end of the engines listed as being electromagnetic thrust vectorers (is that a word?) in the SW2ICS.

That was a very Spanky like response, Revan.

Excuse me, I erroniously thought this was one of Revan's stock threads.
That and my copy of ICS2 is currently at the bottom of a box...

Pictures?
Ep II ICS doesn't have a rear view of the Delta 7. But listed on the cutaway pointing directly to the engine is; Electromagnetic nozzle elements direct and pinch the relativistic thrusth stream.
On the Acclamator, the blurb pointing to the engine states; Eight electromagnetic thrust vectoring panels delflect exhaust particle streams to provide turning force.
Since the Delt 7 lists as a manufacturer; Kuat systems engineering, subsidary of Kuat Drive Yards....
the same parent company that builds the Acclamator, I have to believe that they use the same stock parts and even design principles.

Yes, and don't forget that the thrust vectoring plates was part of the Imperator I design.
