-===== 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.
-==== Civilian Spec Drive ====
-  ***Average Mean Velocity** \\ 0.0012 (0.12%) C\\ (359 Km/s or 17 Minutes 50 Seconds from the earth to the moon)

-==== Military Spec Drive ====
-  ***Average Mean Velocity** \\ 0.0032 (0.32%) C\\ (960 Km/s or 6 Minutes 40 Seconds from the earth to the moon)

-===== 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. This technology enables rapid, point to point travel across the reaches of the Sundala Starzone. The compact antimatter powered nature of the drives allowing even small vessels, such as shuttles or fighters, to make long range jumps and not be tied to a vessel or the translight gates.
-==== 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.
-==== Power Source ====
-Antimatter capacitors are employed to feed the massive prompt energy requirements of the fold drive and its short lived generated singularity. The amount of energy and thus antimatter required scales with both vessel mass and the distance between the initiation and destination points.
-==== Navigation and Computation ====
-Determining the placement of the entry and exit points of the jump demands extensive calculations carried out by specialized navigational computational systems. The time it takes for these calculations to be carried out are determined by two main factors shown below,
-  *Longer distances and higher vessel mass require more computational time.
-  *Pre-charted areas of operation, prior knowledge of a target destination, or areas with established beacons with superluminal communications nodes drastically reduce the time required for the calculations.
-==== Average Statistics ====
-  ***<fs large>Civil Grade Drive</fs>**\\ **Average Range -** 35-45 Lightyears per Jump  \\ **Average Calculation Time -** 800 to 1,250 Seconds Per Lightyear\\ **Jumpline (One earth mass)  -** 155,000 Km (96,312 Miles)
-  ***<fs large>Commercial Grade Drive</fs>**\\ **Average Range -** 80 to 100 Lightyears per Jump  \\ **Average Calculation Time -** 600 to 800 Seconds Per Lightyear\\ **Jumpline (One earth mass)  -** 35,000 Km (21,747 Miles)
-  ***<fs large>Military Grade Drive</fs>**\\ **Average Range -** 150 to 180 Lightyears per Jump  \\ **Average Calculation Time -** 350 to 450 Seconds Per Lightyear\\ **Jumpline (One earth mass)  -** 15,000 Km (9,320 Miles)
