Rip Drive

The contents of this page were introduced in Born of Blood. |
| Description: | This FTL drive technology allows specialized Ripper "tunneling ships" to literally tear open a hole between "normal" and node space. This lets the Rippers create their own node line network at will. The only drawback to artificial node lines is that they are unstable and will collapse over time and through extended disruption by ships' mass. A node line that collapses will destroy any ship in transit down it. |
