Alcubierre Drive (aka FTL Drive)
The Alcubierre Drive is what allows everyone in this universe to travel through hyperspace. The Coalition's capital ships are able to maintain faster-than-light travel for hours on end, but smaller craft (including all ships on the Edge) can only hop from star to star, with a maximum distance of ten lightyears per hop.
Access & Availability
Common. Any ship that travels through hyperspace uses an FTL Drive.
Complexity
Complex, which is why the author never plans on going into detail on how we got them to work or what fuels them. Something alien, probably.
Discovery
First proposed by Miguel Alcubierre.
