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. Initial tests showed that it had the potential to utilize the Lagrangian points between almost any large orbital body to create a rift that any drive-equipped vessel could then "slip" through. 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.
