Report on Impeller Drive Tests

Our inertial dampeners have been modified to withstand velocities exhibited by the Impeller Drive, and a small corvette outfitted with it. The ship reported, that when they activated the drive, they were pulled into a totally unknown realm of space time. Dubbed Zero Space, or Z-Space, there is absolutely nothing there that is anything like the regular universe. The corvette traversed all of Protoss explored space in a matter of hours, a journey which normally would take weeks to complete at a speed of Warp Factor 5, a standard cruising speed for ships. Unfortunately, the crew members who gazed upon Z-Space with naked eyes went insane. Further tests are being conducted, and no more manned missions will take place until we can counteract the insanity. It is theorized that an unprepared and untrained mind being allowed to experience a glimpse of Z-Space causes insanity, as the brain, even a Protoss brain, cannot process what it can see. This is less of a problem for Protoss than humans, however, still too much of a problem to consider regular use of Impeller Drives for several months, perhaps even a year.
