+There are three primary methods of faster then light travel employed by the Colonial Pact Trade Alliance, each has its own specific strengths and primary uses as well as ranges. They are listed below and are typically a 'packaged' deal being used as a primary package of systems on whatever platform mounts them.
+===== Interplanetary Warp Drive =====
+A 'phasing' type drive that shunts the ship into its own pocket sub-dimension where faster then light travel is possible, it is the slowest form of FTL and has a far lower error percentage when rejoining normal space inside star systems when compared with Fold methods of FTL. As a result it is typically used once one enters the nullzone of a major gravity well such as those found around star systems or major stellar bodies.
+===== Interstellar Fold-Jump Drive =====
+===== Intersystem Stellar Gate Assembly and Interface System =====
-Arguebly one of the most expensive pieces of technology ever constructed by the hands of Colonial Pact engineers and put to space, the standardized Quantum Fold Drive or QFD is the single most valuable piece of technology outside of the Pact's existing faster then light gate infrastructure. Allowing vessels to travel beyond the gate network and its expense although at the per unit cost of the QFD's manufacture and the exotic materials and know how required. Unlike the gate system and its fixed position in space time on a trans-universal level the QFD cannot be used inside a star systems densest gravitational influence, forcing starships or strikecraft looking to 'jump' beyond a stars hillsphere or in the very least near its border in order to avoid catastrophic errors in their jump solution.

-  ***Type:** Quantum Fold Drive
-  ***Mount and Related Hardware:** Typically mounted in a heavily shielded compartment near the center point of the star ship.
-===== Availability and Sales =====
-'CFTLD' type systems are primarily used on [[colonial_pact:colonial_pact_coverpage]] military, civil security, and commercial vessels and platforms. However propulsion systems of this type are often provided to client states or trusted private interests.
