An Imperial jumpship utilizing its jump drive to transit between the Outer Reach and the Inner Core.
The jumpdrive is a faster-than-light propulsion technology known, utilized and monopolized by the Galactic Empire. It works by using a black-hole power source to access higher dimensions, folding space and time to "jump" between two points instantaneously, regardless of distance or range. Using the jump drive is taxing on Humans, and they are required to sleep through the journey[1] since their minds cannot handle the discontinuity of the jump.[2] Jumps also had to occur in zero-gravity, since the gravity generators produced a waveform that interfered with the engine's ability to plot a fourth-dimensional course.[1] Spacers were genetically bred to withstand the rigors of a jump, and remained awake during the voyage.[2] The effects of a jump differed between individuals, which some feeling the same symptoms of a hangover after a jump.[1]
After the acquisition of the Invictus, the Foundation reverse-engineered its technology to create whisper-ships - which contains a new type of jumpdrive technology that does not require the assistance of Spacers, execute space jumps in a non-zero gravity environment (within planetary atmosphere), and perform space jumps within a small confine of space without damaging its surrounding areas or properties. Technology such as the whisper-ships is seen as more advanced than the currently available technology within the Galactic Empire.
