A jump drive design descended from the jump technology used by the Terrans during the First Confederation and used within the Distant Fringe to this day.
Description / Specifications
DeVoss-type drives are capable of propelling a vessel up to 6.5 light years (2 parsecs) through jump space – the so called Jump-2 Barrier – and are extremely reliable. Efforts to increase the design’s performance have proved fruitless.
History & Background / Dossier
Higher jump-states are known to be possible – Voyagers appear to be capable of a controlled jump-4, and misjumps have carried vessels far further. Research into drives with a higher jump potential (such as the legendary Langstrom Drive) is ongoing, but to date there have been no breakthroughs.
The Jumpspace Institute at the IoT/University of Selasia is considered the leading authority on jumpspace physics, jump theory and experimental FTL technology.
