Quantum tunneling assembly

The Quantum tunneling assembly was the 25th century Federation counterpart to the historic Quantum slipstream drive. The QTA was a complex system, so complex that by the 27th century only 5 classes of starship had been integrated with it.

Operation
The Quantum tunneling assembly worked by flooding zero-point energy with highly reactive delta rays, this caused zero-point energy to fluctuate severely and subsequently react with subspace. This reaction spread around the ship, encompassing it.
