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.
| Minimum TL | Space | Order of Drive (Magnitude) † | Drive Names |
FTL | Travel Duration | Travel Distance † | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Real Space (N-space) |
-- | None | Conventional Drives (Relativistic) |
NAFAL | Conventional Space-Time limitations. | Unlimited (Fuel limitation) Pre-FTL or NAFAL Technologies.
|
| 9 | Jump Space (J-space) |
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.
|
| 17 | Hop Space (H-space) |
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 10s of pc of travel. |
| 20 | Skip Space (S-space) |
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 100s of pc of travel. |
| 22 (23?) | Leap Space (L-space) |
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 1000s of pc of travel. |
| 26 | Bound Space (B-space) |
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 10,000s of pc of travel. |
| 29 | Vault Space (V-space) |
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 100,000s of pc of travel. |
| 31 | "6-space" | 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" | 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" | 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" | 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. |
† As a House Rule, some prefer to use Base-6 instead of Base-10 (i.e. Jump = 1-6; Hop = 6-36; Skip = 36-216; etc).
