The '''Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine''' ('''SFTE'''), '''Shaw-Fujikawa drive''' and '''FTL drive''', is a type of [[slipspace drive]] created by [[human]]s. It is a spacecraft propulsion system that is capable of making transitions to and from [[slipstream space]], and by extension allowing faster-than-light interstellar travel. | The '''Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine''' ('''SFTE'''), '''Shaw-Fujikawa drive''' and '''FTL drive''', is a type of [[slipspace drive]] created by [[human]]s.
