The '''Frame Shift Drive (SCO)''' is a [[hyperdrive]] system manufactured by [[Achilles Corporation|Achilles Aerospace]]. It was introduced to the market in 3310 after research on [[Thargoid Titan]] travel.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/66169acbc56a55c6a80e15d8 GalNet: New Supercruise Overcharge module enters the market, a “turning point for humanity”]</ref> The Frame Shift Drive (SCO) is capable of both [[supercruise]] and [[hyperspace]] jumps, with an additional capability of [[Supercruise#Overcharging|supercruise overcharge]], allowing faster travel within a [[star system]]. | The '''Frame Shift Drive (SCO)''' is a [[hyperdrive]] system manufactured by [[Achilles Corporation|Achilles Aerospace]].

From 3297 to 3310, [[Frame Shift Drive|Frame Shift Drives]] manufactured solely by the Sirius Corporation were in predominant use among human civilisation. In 3308, during the [[Second Thargoid War]], seven [[Thargoid Titan|Thargoid Titans]] were observed travelling through interstellar space at faster-than-light speed, towards the [[Core Systems|core systems]]. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/destination-humanity GalNet: Destination: Humanity]</ref> Following the destruction of one of the Titans designated ''Taranis'', Achilles Aerospace announced their research into the Titan's travel technology, requesting independent pilots to collect [[Titan drive component|Titan drive components]] from the wreckage of ''Taranis''. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/achilles-aerospace-urges-pilots-plunder-titan-wreckage GalNet : Achilles Aerospace urges pilots to plunder Titan wreckage]</ref> This initiative was successful<ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/achilles-aerospace-urges-pilots-plunder-titan-wreckage Achilles Aerospace urges pilots to plunder Titan wreckage]</ref>, and Achilles Aerospace brought their prototype Frame Shift Drive to market on 10 April 3310. <ref name=":1" /> | |||
