• Name: Sleipnir-class 0.1 Path Engine
• Manufacturer: Rocksolid Arms | HPI Consortium
• Affiliation: Dark Empire | Terraris Command || HPI Consortium | Holonet Storefront | Selected Customers
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Sleipnir-class 0.1 Path Engine
• Modularity: Average
  • Can be placed in any ship size.
• Production: Mass-Produced
• Material: Druetium | Theadian | Fyrirdögun | Ethaerium fuel | Path Engine components.

• Speed Classification : 0.1
• Size: Average
• Height: Average
• Path Engine Components: Very good quality Path Engine 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.
• It has the special feature, as all Path Engines do, that the computer it is connected to can translate Paths into data that only the Path Engine can use. For any other system, this would be incorrect or unintelligible data.
• Thanks to this data, the Path Engine provides unconventional hyperspace travel for ships, by utilizing the Paths, hyperspace routes located between and across typical hyperlanes.

• Very Fast: The Sleipnir-class Path Engine is damn fast.
• Any Ship: This engine can be installed in any spacecraft and spaceship.
• Paths: The engine uses Paths to travel along routes that are inaccessible to conventional hyperdrives.

• Power Hunger: Speed requires a lot of energy, which is why the Slepinir-class hyperdrive consumes a lot of energy. It is advisable to keep a separate generator for it, otherwise the engine 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.

The HPI Consortium considers it extremely important that its own technology always develops very well and that the galaxy's technological level also increases. Among others, this category also includes hyperdrives or other similar, alternative technologies. Although HPI had already produced very fast engines for the Eternal Empire and the Open Market, This time they wanted to make a wide range of technology with different technology.

There are huge distances in the Galaxy, which to this day can make life miserable for those who want to travel, or for those who have to travel long distances. Fast travel would have been good in trade between distant locations. If not weeks, but only a few days are spent by commercial ships and fleets in hyperspace. Not to mention if one wants to do personal meetings somewhere.

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, ancient and new Path Engine technologies, and last but not least, any technology that is a different kind of FTL technology. From this knowledge they built their own Sleipnir-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. This became the hyperdrive which is able to 0.1 speed, which the Dark Empire received due to their cooperation, mainly for their war fleets. However, they consume a huge amount of energy, which is not necessarily good for civilian ships. This is precisely why the 0.3 engine was made, which consumes less energy than the 0.1. and for whom even 0.3 would consume too much, 0.5 is still an incredibly fast hyperdrive and it could be a great choice, because it is more energy efficient than the other two.
