Wow, your brain must have exploded will developing this theory. :lol: This is pretty good. I thought Scotty retired again after the the Big D found him? Like he said, his schooling is a hundred years out of date and even re schooling, i doubt that that he would have the means to complete the Sovie design.
The QSD system that i imagined goes something like this.
After Voyages returned with her new tech, star fleet poured it's best and brightest in to trying to develop the Slipstream, the armor, the weapons and the catapult they used a wile back.
The new armor system proved to be harder to fit to starship then original thought, it's still pending development. Wile easier, most new ship are outfitted with the new Phaser ans torpedo systems wile older models could now handle the power requirement.
Research focused on the Catapult. After years of development, Gate Ways as they were dubbed were stationed at many starbases and high trafficked planets as a means of alternative travel. Due to warp it limitation, max crusing speed of all ship with in the federation is warp 5 to stop the harm to space unless emergency condituons are applied, the gates were out fitted with thrusters for stubilty and for navagation controll. A ship can send it's flight plan to the controll room, from there the gate way crew would turn the gate and activate it for travel in a streght line. For ships to use this technology, a computer program was in stalled on any ship wishing to use this system. Auto pilot adjusted the shields and flights systems to compensate for in tunnel turbulence and also has an auto shutdown in case of two things. One being a failure to compensate for the tunnels behavior, and secondly a ship would automatically eject it's self from the tunnel upon approach to and planetary system. The result of both would simple restore the ship to normal space where the ship would curry on under normal warp. In theory, the ship is in a quantum state, thus would possibility allow the ship to pass thought and spacial body's. But the theory is still not proven and the effect on any spacial body is not known thus a ship in the stream must eject before entering any solar system, inhabited or not.
With rapid boarded disputes and the rise in tenchens with Klingon, 8472, borg and the remainders of the Jem'hadar, plus attacks from and unknown aggressor, star fleet was able to complet successful quantum slip drive systems using crystals found by the crew of the USS GRIFFIN. This system, redesigned from VOYAGER by Jayals Sh'Dani, a Andorian scientist were built for the star fleet test program that were tasked with inter grading the QSD into 6 new prototype class. All were successful with the exception of one. Charged with front line defense and rescue, the RRTF was born. But with any new technology it has its limits. Wile operating normally the ship is under warp power, but when emergency protocols are activated, the QSD can be brought online with in minuets to slip to any location. The crystals powering the QSD take a long time to refine under hardest condition and once done the crystals only has a limited shelf life. With a year to refine the crystals and only a month worth of slip jumps star fleet was quick to inplaiment the new QSD protocol. This mode of travel it not with out hazards thou, as documented by VOYAGER, a person exposed to this, depending on there race, may or will start to regress to an earlier state of evolution. SH'Dani implemented a new BIO shielding protocol into the ships QSD to automatically engage upon entering the Stream to stop any undesired mutation. The before menchened auto pilot system for the Gate Ways are also merged into this system to stop a ship from clouding with any steller body's. Before engaging the system, a massive sensor pulse is emitted and when avalible, a uplink with fredration navigational network will be used to plot a searis of Slip jump to avoid potential hazards will travling in a striate line.
This is the working theory for the QSD in the show, questions and any additional information is welcomed.
