Slipcoil Engine

The slipcoil engine was designed by Marc Ibarra, and was installed on the ships on the feint Mission to Saturn.

The true purpose of the engine was to move the Ibarra Corporation and Atlantic Union fleet forward in time to avoid the Xaros invasion of Earth. When the Xaros were spotted earlier than anticipated by Jimmy, Marc Ibarra iniated the drive ahead of schedule, sending the ships 30 years into the future.

In actuality, the slip-coil drives were stasis generators, which pulled the fleet from the space-time continuum so Humanity could survive and rebuild after the Xaros invasion.
