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.

• Users: Colonial Pact Trade Alliance
• Type: Quantum Fold Drive
• Mount and Related Hardware: Typically mounted in a heavily shielded compartment near the center point of the star ship.

'CFTLD' type systems are primarily used on Colonial Pact Trade Alliance military, civil security, and commercial vessels and platforms. However propulsion systems of this type are often provided to client states or trusted private interests.
