The Khador Drive allows a ship to travel to any system without the need of jumpgates.

In-Game Description

Named after its inventor , a Grey, the Khador Drive allows interstellar travelers to journey anywhere in the universe. This incredible feat is made possible by the Void Crystals embedded in the device, each of which contains a miniaturized image of the entire universe. The drive replaces the need for jumpgates and makes it possible to travel to the Void realm without the use of a wormhole.

Notes

The Khador Drive makes it possible to instantly travel to any system at the cost of energy cells.

• If jumpgate travel is possible from the current location, the cost depends on the amount of jumpgates that would've been used on the shortest possible route, multiplied by 1/2 and capping at 9/14 (other difficulties/Extreme).
  • Juumping to the Voids' system from anywhere else and back always costs the minimum amount (1/2). While there, it is only possible to return to the original system.
• If jumpgate travel is not possible, the cost is equivalent to using four jumpgates, or 4/8.

For 1t Khador Drive:

• 50t Void Crystals (These can be bought from Wolf-Reiser if you enter the station without a Khador Drive.)
• 10t Pyresium
• 10t Doxtrite
• 10t Hypanium
• 40t Electronics
• 70t Mechanical Supplies
• 75t Microchips
• 40t Optics

For 1t Khador Drive:

• 50t Void Crystals (These can be bought from Wolf-Reiser if you enter the station without a Khador Drive.)
• 200t Pyresium
• 200t Doxtrite
• 30t Hypanium
• 100t Electronics
• 150t Mechanical Supplies
• 150t Microchips
• 120t Optics
• 125t Energy Cells

This over about 400,000$ to produce (not counting Void Crystals), and around 820,000$ to autocomplete.

Trivia

A Kinzer RS using Khador Drive, in a third-person view.

• All the Deep Science ships have integrated Khador Drives that do not take up an equipment slot.
• In Galaxy on Fire 3: Manticore, several facts of the Khador Drive are revealed:
  • Khador, as a Grey, already has complete knowledge of its inner workings. It was only introduced by Khador so the Greys could hopefully stay ahead of the Voids.
  • Presumably due to Alice' actions, the Greys refused to reveal its inner workings. As a result, it is only presumably available on Deep Science's ships and Keith T. Maxwell is the only exception. While they have placed safeguards on Maxwell's drive and suggest destroying the ship completely to prevent a copycat incident, the Greys are yet to reach a consensus.
• Before mission 8, in which normally your Khador Drive will be stolen, you can store or sell your Khador Drive, it won't affect the mission surprisingly. So in the end you will have 2 Khador Drives (or one and the credits of the other sold one). This seems to be a bug and might be patched in the future. March 2017
• There is a graphical glitch, which allows the player to watch the Khador Drive jump animation from a position right behind the jumping ship.
• When gathering Void Crystals for Khador, and succeeding, the 50t Void Crystals will already be in the Khador Drive blueprint, saving more time.
• There is sometimes a glitch where only the purple orb, but not its contrails, appear. (GoF2 SD). If this happens the first time the Drive is used, the player can assume that the Drive teleports them to their specified destination.
• If you go to a system that is not in the jumpgate network and sell the Khador Drive, you are stuck if it disappears from the shop unless another is be autocompleted.
• If one fires up the the Drive and launches a Liberator just before the jump initiates, the camera will zoom back to the vortex, but will follow the location of the missile from its fixed perspective.
• There is also another bug in which when you hold the fire button before the jump, you will still fire your installed primary weapon even if the button disappears from the screen.
• There is a bug when using the Khador drive and using a jumpgate at the same time, if the drive was charging while using a jumpgate, you will appear at the specified destination for free, but afterwards the jumpgates will require energy cells to use.
