HIGHER ORDER JUMP DRIVES (2016)

While they are not currently known to Imperial Science as of the 1116 era, there are actually at least 9 tiers of "hyperspaces", or "Tau-spaces", of which Jumpspace is only the lowest tier. The actual values and performances are listed below.

Jumpspace & Conventional Space Travel in 1116

Minimum TL	Space	Level #'s	Weave (Order of Magnitude)	Drive Names	FTL	Travel Duration	Travel Distance	Remarks
6	Real Space (N-space)	0	None	Conventional Drives (Relativistic)	NAFAL	Conventional Space-Time limitations.	Unlimited (Fuel limitation)	Pre-FTL or NAFAL Technologies. Fairly well understood.
9	Jump Space (J-space)	1 to 9	0th-Order (100)	Jump Drives J-1 to J-9	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	1-9 pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in parsecs of travel. e.g. A J-1 drive can travel one parsec or a little less than a third of a Light-year (About 31 million kilometers). 100 diameter gravity well limitation. Not well understood.
17	Hop Space (H-space)	10 to 18	1st-Order (101)	Hop Drives H-1 to H-9	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	10-90 pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in 10's of pc of travel.
20	Skip Space (S-space)	19 to 27	2nd-Order (102)	Skip Drives S-1 to S-9	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	100-900 pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in 100's of pc of travel.
22	Leap Space (L-space)	28 to 36	3rd-Order (103)	Leap Drives L-1 to L-9	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	1000 pc to 9000 pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in 1000's of pc of travel.
26	Bound Space (B-space)	37 to 45	4th-Order (104)	Bound Drives B-1 to B-9	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	10,000 pc to 90,000 pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in 10,000's of pc of travel.
29	Vault Space (V-space)	46 to 54	5th-Order (105)	Vault Drives V-1 to V-9	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	100,000 pc to 900,000 pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in 100,000's of pc of travel.
31	"6-space"	55 to 63	6th-Order (106)	"Six" Drives "Six"-1 to "Six"-9 (?)	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	1 million pc to 9 million pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in millions of pc of travel.
32	"7-space"	64 to 72	7th-Order (107)	"Seven" Drives "Seven"-1 to "Seven"-9 (?)	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	10 million pc to 90 million pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in 10s of millions of pc of travel. * Generally not available.
33	"8-space"	73 to 81	8th-Order (108)	"Eight" Drives "Eight"-1 to "Eight"-9 (?)	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	100 million pc to 900 million pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in 100s of millions of pc of travel. * Generally not available. - Note that Singularity occurs at TL33, so only an "Early" Eight-Drive is possible at TL32.
34	"9-space"	82 to 90	9th-Order (109)	"Nine" Drives "Nine"-1 to "Nine"-9 (?)	FTL	168 hours [± 10%]	1 billion pc to 9 billion pc	Drive rating are equal to the maximum travel distance in billions of pc of travel. * Generally not available. - Note that Singularity occurs at TL33, so only a "Prototype" Nine-Drive is possible at TL32.
