Line 3: ==Word of Blake Super-Jump Drive== ==Word of Blake Super-Jump Drive== − The Word of Blake's super-jump technology requires a jump capable ship to have both a regular jump drive and a [[Lithium-Fusion Battery]], in addition to a few minor adjustments to the jump drive disabling certain safety features. When performing a super-jump, the ship starts a normal jump sequence using the jump drive, then less than a second later begins a second jump sequence using the lithium-fusion battery. The resulting effect is a jump of unprecedented and virtually unlimited range, though it is theorized the maximum viable range with any accuracy is approximately 900 light years. This style of super-jump has several severe drawbacks, however.
