With 6x more propellant and 4x the power of today’s Dragon spacecraft, SpaceX was selected to design and develop the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle for a precise, controlled deorbit of the @Space_Station

Looks like there will be 30 draco engines on the back of that thing. Pretty Kerbal!

For the strongback, they've made changes in the past, like recently running liquid methane up it for Intuitive Machines, so that shouldn't be too big of a deal.
