The Gravity Wall Drive (GWD) was an attempt by scientists in the Talros Theocracy to develop a replacement for the Point Singularity Drive.

History

Experiments with the Gravity Wall Drive began in 2290 CE, after an embargo was put in place to prevent the sale of new Point Singularity Drive cores to the Theocracy. It was an attempt to creator a system using quantum tunneling to allow for faster-than-light without the use of point singularities on the edges of systems. However, it proved to be unstable, with a one-hundred percent loss rate of vessels attempting the jump. The cause of the instability and the fates of the test bed vessels is unknown.
