And onward questions (as we're at it), does normal thrust use quirium at all, or some other method/source of propulsion? Ergo if a ship doesn't have witchspace capability or fuel injectors, does it have any quirium on-board at all, and so would it cascade or just go bang?

Why do I get the feeling this debate could go on for millenia?

There's currently four ships that don't have witchdrives; The Gecko, Sidewinder, Krait Mk 1 (native), and possibly Krait Mk 2 (Griff Krait).
Although they get around witchspace by 'borrowing' wormholes left by jumping ships, they carry quirium, as evidenced by their heavy use of injectors during combat.
Thusly, they'll cascade.

Addendum to previous post....

Asteroids, and empty ships etc struck by a cascade should be destroyed, not unaffected. But they shouldn't trigger a subsequent cascade...
