Trans-Orbital Accelerator

The Trans-Orbital Accelerator, or TOA, is the Terran equivalent of the jumpgate for use moving around the Solar System. Rather than generating a warp tunnel between two points, it works by accelerating ships to high sublight speeds in a short distance and decelerating them at the complementary TOA.

Since warp/jump technology is not employed, the jumpdrive cannnot use a TOA as an exit point.
