  • FTL propulsion drive based on modification of fundamental structure of spacetime on a quantum level (TNG Novel: Greater Than the Sum)
    • Requires precise calculation from microsecond to microsecond to maintain slipstream (TNG Novel: Greater Than the Sum)
      • Improper calculations for generation of slipstream vortex results in vortex instability, collapse of slipstream, potential damage or destruction to vessel (VOY: "Timeless"; TNG Novel: Greater Than the Sum)
        • Complexity of calculations proportional to the exponential of vessel mass (TNG Novel: Greater Than the Sum)
  • Overall velocities greater than that which can be accomplished for similar energy investment by warp drive, but computational requirements far greater (TNG Novel: Greater Than the Sum)
  • First obtained by Federation via Arturis of Species 116 (VOY: "Hope and Fear")
