They called it the Quantum Entanglement Device. It did n't really matter to us star-sailors. To us it was the hyperdrive. 
 
 You see, the Drevs always had the upper hand when it came to faster-than-light travel. They ’ d mastered the warp drive back when humans were still bashing steel swords together. The Drevs could trap our fleets and even do little microjumps with their warp drives to out-maneuver us. Our ships might ’ ve been tougher, but they were slow and bulky. The Drevs could just get under our guns and smash us to bits. 
 
 At its heart, the QED was a simple device. Two particles at two different points and space are located and `` entangled.'' I do n't really know how this all happens. It's all quantum mechanics and plasma physics, and a lot of other bullshit that stoppers up where the engineering decks end. But, regardless, those two particles are now... linked. You can send data between them, and its somehow stored. Somehow. I did talk to a few of the engineers on the hyperdrive, but all they could tell me is stuff like “ space-time strings ” and “ quantum wires ” and a lot of other stuff that sounded more like random combinations of words that made sense on their own, but together became a faucet of gibberish. But, that ’ s not the end of it. Then, the hyperdrive takes two snapshots simultaneously. The first is the location of every particle that is currently part of the ship: every atom, every proton, every inconspicuous bit of dust is analyzed down to the quark level. The second snapshot is the velocity of all those particles. Which is why the CO ’ s are always wanting us to keep our bunks sparkling clean. One miscalculation, and suddenly you ’ re missing half your face. I ’ ve heard horror stories. People just disappear sometimes when they ’ re working on the hyperdrive and we jump. All the find is piles of radioactive ash. 
 
 Whatever the consequences, the QED works. We sucker punched the Drevs right back to their home star system. They never stood a goddamn chance. Our ships crushed their docked capital fleets when they leaped, seemingly out of nowhere, and ambushed their shipyards at the Battle of Falcron. Then, we struck again at the Battle of N ’ rangard, turning an entire fleet, supported by a Drevian battlecarrier fielding fighter after fighter, to scrap. When we reached Drevon Prime, they begged for surrender.
