 Frameshift Drives (FSD): FSDs are essential for interstellar travel beyond the established Jump Gate Network or for long-range jumps that exceed the reach of two functional gates. When traveling between synchronized Jump Gates in the Interstellar Highways, no FSD is needed, as the gates amplify and stabilize the warp field. These routes are meticulously aligned and calibrated for safe, efficient travel. Ships deviating from these routes will fail to establish a stable connection, as unsynchronized gates cannot facilitate a jump.
 For travel beyond the Interstellar Highways, an FSD is required to create the warp bubble necessary for a jump. However, without a Jump Gate network to connect to, FSD travel is still slow but more feasible than it once was. A ship traveling without gates operates at speeds of approximately 0.2c (20% of the speed of light), meaning that nearby star systems can be reached in 5-10 years, depending on distance. This makes FSD travel a viable option for interstellar journeys when no gates are available, though it remains a time-consuming process for colonization and exploration.
