The first "FTL Drive", known as the Mk. I Alcubierre Drive, is tested between Earth and Pluto, the journey is reduced to 8 days rather than years. It is considered a success, and is installed in most NASA ships.

2111 CE
The Separatists are tracked all the way to the Oort Cloud, where transmission is lost.

2123 CE
NASA unveils the new "Deep Space" replacement for the Mk. I A Drive, the BSS Warp Drive, which would shorten a Subspace journey to the Oort Cloud from 798 days to 26 days.
