An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The early prototypes appeared in the late 22nd century, but it was a century later when Dr. Andre Morvan hypothesized their feasibility. The hopper drive creates a powerful and focused matter-antimatter reaction, generating antigravitons that create a temporary space warp. The ship must be correctly positioned at the very edge of the reaction's event horizon, and hop across space instantaneously, across a distance of 20% to 35% of a light-year.

  • The early prototypes appeared in the late 22nd century, but it was a century later when Dr. Andre Morvan hypothesized their feasibility. The hopper drive creates a powerful and focused matter-antimatter reaction, generating antigravitons that create a temporary space warp. The ship must be correctly positioned at the very edge of the reaction's event horizon, and hop across space instantaneously, across a distance of 20% to 35% of a light-year. The earliest interstellar colonists and traders used hopper drives. Terran colonists had a success rate of 91% but Pilgrims (thanks to the Compass Savant abilities) could reach a success reaching 99%. Voyages still take a significant time in relation to the human lifespan. Therefore, hopper-ships are sometimes called "sloships". Later the drive was obsoleted by the Akwende Drive, much safer and economical, used by most star-traffic. However hopper drives were used even into the 27th century by explorer and deep-space patrol craft.
