Sidestepping
This is the method employed by all long-distance craft to bridge the many light-year gap between worlds. The engine of the craft actually harnesses the reality around itself, and instantly rewrites it’s own existence in a new place. This process creates a wild and random explosion of light 'tendrils', and is sometimes called 'flaring'. Since this method makes use of the abstract concepts of soulspace, the craft must be self-aware.

The 'brain' of any side-stepping craft is a large artificial mind often referred to as a 'Godfrey's Focusing Spool'. It is an extremely advanced computer capable of calculating the 'moments between moments'. Since sidestepping requires access to soulspace, and soulspace is impossible to comprehend with a humanitan mind, the focusing spools must be aware of their own existence so they can calculate their location in the universe and choose to make it a different location.

They are built to be housed inside nearly unbreakable containers which earned them the nickname 'godtanks'.
