HIGHER ORDER JUMP DRIVES (2016)[edit]

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
