Clones claim to have developed superluminal induction drive

Induction drives which have no emissions are perfect for stealth though are low in power, the fastest NS test ship with an induction drive was able to achieve 0.2c. This is fine for slow careful cruising under cloak but has limited tactical use.

However, the Clones claim to have developed an induction drive which can propel a ship at up to seven times the speed of light (7c). The Head of the CDF Admiral Anderson said that an induction drive will be fitted to a Molentic Tuul for an extended field test later this year. It is hoped the Clone Space Navy will be able to roll out mass use of the induction drive by the end of the 2120s.
