A slow ship was a type of starship that did not utilize a jumpdrive.[1] Despite being called a slow ship, it was still capable of faster-than-light travel, but its drive did not use the method of bending space and time, allowing the crew to be awake during the journey.[2] As a result, any slow ship would take months or years to reach their destination. The Imperative-class Deliverance was a slow ship, used by the Foundation to transport their colonists to the planet Terminus. The trip took nearly five years to travel from Trantor to Terminus.[1]
