			The '''FTL drive''' allows a [[spacecraft]] to travel faster than light (FTL). This is not required for interstellar travel, but it greatly reduces the travel time between [[Solar_System\|solar system]]s. Without an FTL drive a spacecraft is forced to [[deadhead]], which is limited by the [[Lightspeed\|speed of light]].

Without a FTL drive a spacecraft is forced to [[deadhead]], which is limited by the [[Lightspeed\|speed of light]].		The required size of the FTL drive depends on the size of the [[spacecraft]]. A smaller FTL drive than required will make it unable to engage, and a bigger FTL drive than required allow for redundancies in case the FTL drive is damaged. The FTL dive also require a great deal of power, so an adequately sized [[capacitor]] and [[Power_Plant_(Subsystem)\|power plant]] is also required.
