- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Druetium | Theadian | Laminanium | Ethaerium fuel | Hyperdrive components.
- Speed Classification : 0.1
- Size: Average
- Height: Average
- Hyperdrive Components: Very good quality hyperdive components.
- They have all the standard hyperdrive parts, protocols, programs, etc., and they are always of the best quality.
- They work on exactly the same principle and practice as standard hyperdrives, only much, much faster due to its implementation and programming.
- Very Fast: The Hermóðr-class hyperdrive is damn fast.
- Any Ship: This hyperdrive can be installed in any spacecraft and spaceship.
- Power Hunger: Speed requires a lot of energy, which is why the Hermóðr-class hyperdrive consumes a lot of energy. It is advisable to keep a separate generator for it, otherwise the hyperdive will absorb energy from the ships' other systems. HPI recommends HAPU for this.
- Micro Jump: Due to its very fast speed and power hunger, it is not really worth performing micro jumps with this. In the very short term, it would not even be able to reach its own standard and optimal speed, and restraint and deceleration could damage its systems. They can be done, but damage must be reckoned with.
Terraris is far enough away from everything, trade routes, civilization, even though it is part of the Eternal Empire, so it was important to them that their ships be equipped with very fast hyperdrives. It is not only because they are technologically advanced and the ego is a major driving force in technological development. However, there were other reasons for this, it was a request from the Imperial courts, both the Eternal and the Ashlan.
By entering into an alliance with the Eternal Empire and Ashlan Crusade and preparing for a joint war against the Maw; the HPI had to solve that the Empires will be able to hasten to help each other quickly if needed. Last but not least, fast trade would have been good in trade between the two empires. If not weeks, but only a few days are spent by commercial ships and fleets in hyperspace. Not to mention if they want to do personal diplomatic meetings.
That’s why HPI engineers had been working for a long time to make that happen. They have studied the technologies that are already available and fast, Path Engine technology, and last but not least, any technology that is a different kind of FTL technology. From this knowledge they built their own Hermóðr-class engine.
In the first few cases, there were still accidents, explosions, slow speeds, and unreliability. But these were just prototypes. The errors were fixed in a few months. And by the time Ashlan Crusade and the Eternal Empire made an alliance on Ziost, this kind of hyperdrive engine was already working perfectly. It was perfect to equip both fleets with them if needed.
Thanks to the Hermóðr-class hyperdrive, the travel time between the two empires has been greatly reduced, which will greatly help the relations between the two empires.
Not least, this very fast hyperdrive is also available to individual buyers through the HPI Consortium's marketplace.
