For my fellow sci-fi geeks, nerds and technophiles... TYRANT STAR Lore: In the TYRANT STAR universe, there's two types of Hyperdrive, and while they are extremely similar, there are some small differences that do stand out. The Hyperdrive employed by the Confederation and Empire is pretty normal, requiring a 'run-up' in Real-space to gain the velocity/inertial state to enter Hyperspace. As shown in the included 'STAR WARS' relevant pics. The second type, which is employed only by the K'Syth Imperium is one that has a very different method of entering Hyperspace, as shown by the non-STAR WARS releveant pics. Apart from entry and exit hyperspace is travelled the same way for both types, that is unchanged. However, while the 1st type does allow Hyper-Ram as a tactic (however such is extremely difficult to achieve) the 2nd type means that entry cannot be 'blockaded' and arrivals can be pin-point accurate...allowing significant tactical and strategic advantage. However...such advantages are balanced out by the very distinctive arrival/departure flash. How It Works; To enter Hyperspace, an object must achieve Lightspeed which is the 'threshold/gateway' velocity/inertial state to enter Hyperspace. The K'Syth Hyperdrive dispenses with the 'acceleration run' by compressing and amplifying inertial energy/forces meaning the ship can jump to Hyperspace without an acceleration run. During exit it works in reverse, completely absorbing and dissipating the inertial forces to bring the vessel back to Realspace with the same velocity/inertial state it had originally before the trip through Hyperspace. It's the operation of and energy-physics associated with the compression/amplification of inertial energy that results in the unavoidable signature 'flash' of the K'Syth hyperdrive system. #sciencefiction #sci-fi #hyperdrive #hyperspace #star #wars #tyrant #spaceopera #spacefantasy #lore
