Displacement is measured in Speireins; higher Speireins being associated with large displacement. Jumping is probabilistic, meaning that the longer the jump, the more possible outcomes there are. There is currently no known computer with the processing power capable of making the requisite number of calculations, and so long jumps resulted in navigational instability. Speirein 12 roughly corresponds to a jump in the hundreds of kilometers. Jumps of Speirein 240 and 900 have been attempted, but the results are unknown. | Displacement is measured in Speireins; higher Speireins being associated with large displacement.

Considering the inherent risks of the Spore Drive - unintended interdimensional travel, time travel, and the risk to the navigator, the experimental drive has fallen out of favor with Starfleet, and no current vessels in the Federation make use of it. With the continuing advancement of bio-neural technology, this may eventually change, but for the time being, Starfleet's engineering divisions remain focused on the development of Quantum Slipstream drives and more conventional warp technology. | |||
