-===== Average Sub-Light Velocities =====
------
-These are the average speeds and acceleration curves employed in setting, mostly determined by the efficiencies of the various propulsion systems employed by the myriad of factions. Speeds can be exceeded but usually in a specific context as excess fuel will be used or the various means of lowering the effects of G-forces may not be able to prevent issues beyond the framework presented below.

-===== Roth-Fujita Jump Drive FTL Drive =====
------
-The Roth-Fujita Singularity Jump Drive (often simply called the Jump Drive for shorthand) is a superluminal propulsion system designed by humanity after the long term study of abandoned fragments of ancient Ozymandian alien technology - mostly consisting of inactive derelict trans-light gates and the occasional fragment of a vessel found scattered across the reaches of the Sundala Starzone.
-==== Core Mechanism ====
-The drive generates a controlled singularity forward of the vessel, the tear in space time linking to the destination point derived from the vessel's navigational calculations. Gravitational influence and a stability field will then draw the singularity over the vessel, shunting it to it's destination instantaneously.
-  ***External Observation:** A brilliant sphere of light forms at the bow, expands to envelop the vessel from front to back, and then vanishes in a burst of exotic particles and light, leaving no other trace.
-  ***Internal Observation:** No conventional sensation of momentum or acceleration occurs, the transition to internal observers is near instant with respect to the ships internal frame of reference.
-Unlike the Alcubierre drives utilized by non-Sundala races, the Roth-Fujita Jump Drive and simliar systems are not affected by celestial bodies between their initiation and destination points due to the nature of the drive 'folding space' rather than traveling through it.
-Derived from the abandoned fragments of Ozymandian technology, most were in the form of derelict gates and vessels seemingly left behind long before mankind's arrival to the Sundala Starzone. The jump drive or Roth-Fujita Translight Singularity Drive is a superluminal method of travel that involves the vessel essentially forming singularity and then drawing the vessel through it. To an outside observer the vessel seemingly produces a ball of light off its bow before drawing it over itself and vanishing in a flash of exotic particles. For the vessel there is actually no momentum, merely a transition through a 'hole' in space time. Unlike Alcubierre style drives they are not affected by celestial bodies between the origin and destination points as they fold space to reach their destination.
-Antimatter, due to its prompt and massive energy impulse, is the primary method of powering the drive. The mass of the object employing the jump drive as well as the distance to be traveled determines the amount of power and thus antimatter mass needed to perform he jump. Additionally calculations must be carried out by the craft's navigation systems to precisely place both the entry and the exit point of the singularity. The greater the distance, the greater the time needed in order to perform these calculations. Charting and pre-existing knowledge of the destination can dramatically reduce the amount of computational time required.
-Due to the lack of the need for massive fusion systems to power the drive they can be mounted on craft as small as shuttles and fighters.
