Traditionally, ships turn around so that they can use their main thrusters for deceleration. Some ships, however, are too ungainly for such maneuvers to be convenient, or carry sensitive cargo that must not be being swung around quickly. For such ships, a reverse thruster allows them to apply thrust smoothly backwards.
Because a reverse thruster must be facing forwards, it must be installed in the weapon section of your ship instead of the engine section.
