Anipax Union — Temporal mechanics isn't the only thing that Hayant Industries has been working on. Hayant, in collaberation with Onvex Stellar Designs, has produced the possible replacement for the aging spacefold stardrives which have been suffering a 25% failure rate ever since their inception - in layman terms, 1 out of every 4 ships using spacefold suffer a malfuction of one sort or another.

At the NewGen convention being held on Chi'von III this week, Hayant-Onvex unveiled the following prototypes to replace the spacefold stardrive:
1. The Silas Subspace Corridor Generator, or SCG.
The SCG is designed to open up a subsapce corridor between two points in space, much like a wormhole, and allow safe passage from one point to the other. Compared to the spacefold drive, the Generator takes had half the energy requirments and is said to cut a third off of spacefold travel time. Subspace theorist Gen Silas of the Tiranus Science Academy is credited with hatching the initial concepts of the SCG.
2. The Hayant-Onvex Yeli'nah Mark IV Spacefold Stardrive
The brainchild of Kyphan engineer Elar Ta'nay, the Yeli'nah Mk.IV takes from original concepts of an existing spacefold drive and is said to have ironed out all the bugs that plague existing spacefold designs. Elar Ta'nay's design promises to cut the possibility for malfuction to with 0.02 percent. In addition, projected travel time is reduced by 35%, but energy requirements remain the same for standard spacefold drives.

So far, the Yeli'nah Mk IV seems to be the drive of choice among perspective users - primarily traders and privite citizens already familiar with the standard spacefold set up, which the Yeli'nah maintains. The militaries of the Anipax and particular member-state however, appear to lean toward the Silas SCG.
