"The first commercially available hyperspace system was known as the "Faraway Jump". "Hyperspace technology originated in the early 22nd Century, but it wasn't until the 2800s that consumer ships began to take advantage of it." Noted historian Sima Kalhana discusses the development of the hyperdrive: This led to a corporate race-for-the-stars as massive colony projects were founded, funded, built and launched, together with hundreds of automated probes sent to all the nearby systems. A new frontier of science and engineering opened, confirmed by the first detailed messages and system scans to be received back to Earth from an interstellar probe sent to the Tau Ceti system years earlier. The discovery of a workable hyperspace theory and the design of the first rudimentary "faster than light" drive by Li Qin Jao opened the possibility of exploration and settlement. The 22nd century saw early pioneering projects begin to take shape. Fer-de-Lance in Witch-space Early hyperspace travel
