| 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. | 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.

| 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. | 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.

| 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. | 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. | ||

| 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. | Antimatter capacitors are employed to feed the massive prompt energy requirements of the fold drive and its short lived generated singularity.
