They are listed below and are typically a 'packaged' deal being used as a primary package of systems on whatever platform mounts them.
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.
