Scientifically accurate fuel for a small spaceship
I'm designing a small two-person spaceship for use in battles in space. It is set around the year 2100.
It would be around the size of a tank (approx. 50 tons).
It would need to be fast and easy to control, as it would go up against laser weapons and heat-seeking missiles (Star Wars style).
As it would stay within 1km of its mothership, it could be regularly refuelled during the battle; it would, however, need to be compact.
Staying at around 1G, it would need to be able to fly for, say, 5 minutes.
The pilots could withstand up to 8G's.
What scientifically-accurate fuel/engine could be used on the ship?
