Despite our expansive solar sail, the pressure of the star's light was nowhere near strong enough to slow us to a sensible entry speed. and unlike back home, there was no laser system changing our velocity. we were coming in screaming.

Homeworld

The solar sail at the ship's stern would catch the light pumped from earth station and carry them to mars.

Para-Imperium Technology

The thrust achievable is far greater than normal fusion torches and acceleration exceeds that of solar sails. a typical cruising speed for interstellar voyages is half the speed of light, but velocities up to .7c have been recorded.
