Check your copy, pointing at the starfighter's engine behind it. Mine definitely says 'thrust steam', i don't see how other copies would be different.

It says "steam" in my copy. But I would assume that it might be a typo. Seriously, use your God damn brain and try to see if "steam" makes any sense in the context than "stream". It doesn't.

Well in my version it's "työntövoima" to retranslate that into thrust steam one needs quite vivid imagination for thrust stream no such thing is needed. (And I'm using the finnish translation if want to know.)

Anyway, i guess they must've found the typo and fixed it after some were already sold.
BTW, I was about to prove i wasn't a complete idiot with this:

Hmmm, i can't seem to see any indication of edition in the back pages of mine. Although interestingly, the acknowledgements for Curtis Saxton include a lot of SW debaters. Some i recognise are Bob Brown, Wayne Poe, Brian Young and Mike Wong.
Maybe one of the reasons darkstar hates the ICS is because he would have to accept that MW and other enemies are mentioned in a piece of SW canon...

Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all
And for the record, I assumed it was probably a joke before I even clicked on the topic. I just got a hilarious image of Astromech Droids shoveling coal into a furnace while singing.

It most certainly IS a typo as the info on the Acclamator's engines says this
Eight electromagnetic thrust-vectoring panels deflect exhaust particle streams to provide turning force (pg 22).

Of course it's a typo. I was joking.

It should be up near the top, in the middle of all the business and copyright information.
All i can see that's relevant is "First published in Great Britain in 2002", but that doesn't really say what edition it is.
