The '''Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine''' ('''SFTE'''), '''Shaw-Fujikawa drive''' and '''FTL drive''', is a type of [[Slipspace drive]] which is a spacecraft propulsion system capable of making transitions to and from [[slipstream space]] and by extension allowing faster-than-light interstellar travel. The device functions by creating ruptures between normal space and slipspace. The nonstandard physics of slipspace allow it to be used as a shortcut realm, facilitating interstellar travel between distant regions in reasonable time.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 141''</ref> | The '''Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine''' ('''SFTE'''), '''Shaw-Fujikawa drive''' and '''FTL drive''', is a type of [[Slipspace drive]] which is a spacecraft propulsion system capable of making transitions to and from [[slipstream space]] and by extension allowing faster-than-light interstellar travel.
