Zero Point

The Haas-Shao Fong Higher Dimensional Shift Transition (otherwise known as a Shift, Jump, or Zero Point Drive) effectively and instantaneously shifts two points through higher n-dimensional space, effectively making two points coincide for an instant, then 'peeling' the desired object from one location to another (similar to the concept of transferring a decal from a sticker to a wall). Shift Drives are massively energy intensive and become increasingly inaccurate at farther distances (due to increasing error caused by quantum uncertainty), which means that a ship could be dumped kilometers or even parsecs away from the intended destination.

During a jump there is no spatial disruption (any shaking or rattling is caused by the physical drives themselves), but the higher dimensional inertial shifts cause severe nausea in a small portion of the population (Jumping Sickness) and on incredibly rare occasions can induce miscarriages. These factors leave the process to be commercially un-viable, but does find use within the navies of various Core governments.

However, for communications (which transports massless EM waves and thus cancel out much of the uncertainty errors) Shift Transmission via Zero Point Repeaters offers a cheap and reliable high fidelity mode of point-to-point data transmission. This is how most of the worlds connect instantly to the Elysian Wide Web (EWW). It should be noted this is not practical for reaching ships wandering through the Drift, as the data must be sent to a fixed "known destination" point which is chosen by the sender.
