Breacher Drive

The breacher drive is a ubiquitous device commonly used in the Weave to open a hole in space time to the Void.

Description
A breacher drive consists of several components, usually an orb paired with a container with a power source. Breacher drives vary in size, with those allowing ships and megastructures to enter the Void being multiple kilometres in diameter

History
The first breacher drives were conceived in the millennia before the First End, when the Universal Commonwealth attempted to gain more access points to the Void. By collapsing a wormhole in a particular way, a small tear could be formed in space-time into the Void. From this, the Commonwealth drew on the power of the Void to advance both their technology and their state of being, forming the Transcends that would build the Weave.

Mechanism
The breacher drive's orb acts as a wormhole generator, being fed negative mass to form a wormhole. Once the wormhole has been created, it is then collapsed into a small tear space-time into the Void. The tear usually lasts only a few nanoseconds for microtears, to around a minute for tears on a macro scale. Tears generated this way only let a small flow of Void protoplasm into a universe, not being enough to destroy the fabric of reality.
