<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Shoten Jump system is a faster-than-light propulsion system built into most [[Gudersnipe]] starships. The technology was invented by [[Instructor Roland]] during the late [[Ages#The Sixth Age|Sixth Age]] and used extensively for surprise attacks during the [[Kamian Succession Wars]].<br /> <br /> ==Technology==<br /> A Shoten Jump works by pushing the ship up into higher planes of existence; specifically to the highest plane, whence it drops into normal space. The process allows a vessel to move great distances and bypass most obstacles. Like the [[Python Reactor]] in traditional FTL, it is bound by the [[Fernel Limit]].<br /> <br /> ==Drawbacks==<br /> The Shoten system does not replace a traditional FTL drive, in that it requires substantially more power, and requires all that power at once. Battlegroups can get around this by spreading a [[Kinovski Particle|particle field]] in space and charging it, which then acts like a giant capacitor, allowing a few ships to make the jump. However, no battle group can supply enough energy to move the entire group; only a single [[Ship Roles|capitol ship]] or a few support ships.<br /> <br /> ===Alternatives===<br /> In [[Retrospectus]] of [[The Road to War]] (Volume II of the [[Course Books]]), [[Hunter Jusenkyou|Hunter]] orders [[Jason Bur&#039;I|Jason]] to attach a [[Zero-Point Generator]] directly to the Shoten Jump-drive as a means of escape. Though this effort is interrupted by the [[Valley Forge]], it is implied this could power the system.<br /> <br /> ==Other Uses==<br /> In the short story [[CTRL+Z]] from The Road to War, it is revealed by [[Instructor Roland]] that Shoten Jump systems can be used for [[time travel]], with a large enough power boost and the right modifications. He calls this technology [[CTRL+Z Technology|CTRL+Z]], which provides the name of the story, and also alludes to correcting mistakes (like the &quot;undo&quot; keyboard command in most computer applications).<br /> <br /> [[Category:Course Books]]</div>
