Spacetime Distortion Drive

Spacetime Distortion Drive: Invented in 1903 UD, the Spacetime Distortion Drive ( STDD) aka the Distortion Drive is what many believe to be the most important technology ever invented in the history of the Federation. The Spacetime Distortion Drive distorts Spacetime to allow for faster than light travel. The drive is housed in the Nacelles taking up most of the space. Crystalline crystalbite is launched at antimatter which is collected in the Antimatter Harvester. The reaction would cause a massive explosion which is contained by the magnetic containment field surrounding the chamber. The explosion creates energy which is absorbed and amplified by the crystalbite in the Distortion Coils which are surrounding the outer shell of the chamber. The coils bend Spacetime and the ship goes to warp. The drive is susceptible to containment breach if the drive is hit enough times and the magnetic containment field is breached. This is the leading tactic in battles. The drive has a speed limit of Distort 10 or 3 quadrillion c.
