== Description (Specifications) ==
 
−
Some [[sophont]] species employ other [[technologies]] enabling interstellar [[FTL]] flight:
 
−
 
−
=== Alternative Technologies ===
 
−
* [[Hyperspace Drive]] based on entering a different space (AKA [[Hyperspace]]) and using conventional propulsion.
 
−
* [[StutterDrive]] is a rapidly pulsed jump drive with the jump taking microseseconds, and the jump distance only a very short distance forward - such as less than a light second. Doing this 100 times a second creates the illusion of rapid FTL movement in normal space, although doppler reflections indicate the object is at rest; thus this is a pseudo movement. Traveller2300 depends exclusively on stutterdrive.
 
−
* [[Teleport Drive]] in which the ship immediately teleports itself from one point to another, with or without passing through some kind of gate.
 
−
* [[Warp Drive]] which is based on creating a contraction of space-time around the ship, so that the speed of light can be exceeded.
