The standard FTL propulsion for many advanced Alpha Quadrant civilizations, such as the Gigerdi Alliance. How exactly this drive works is not known, but vessels using it are often seen being engulfed in energy, then disappearing. It has also been noted the Jump Drive does not cause subspace distortions. These observations are consistent with a drive performing some type of interdimensional travel.

Several models, including the Mark I and Mark II, exist. These have also been scaled down to function on a starfighter scale; these are known as "light versions". Furthermore a "heavy version" exists for use in ultra-large starships.

The term jump drive may also refer to any FTL propulsion system.
