Klenova Class M Warp Engine
The Klenova Class M Warp Engine is a relatively modern variant of warp drive engine, the design of which foregoes the requirement of a Navigator for Warp traversal, even going as far as removing any standard means of integration from the Navigator. While it increases the efficiency and safety of normal calculated jumps, smoothly riding the currents of the Immaterium, with spare, as it is noted for redundant cogitators implemented, it doesn't aid much in travel outside the established warp routes.[1]
It originates from the Kormisoshi Shipyards, where it has been incorporated into some select starships for over three centuries. While the encroachment on the Navis Nobilite's monopoly is minor, only increasing the range of single jumps of vessels already freely flying without the employment of a Navigator, the Nobilite lodged many formal complains against Klenova Class engines. Thanks to the speed of the bureaucracy in the Imperium, however, their litigations are yet to be acknowledged by the Administratum, and Kormisoshi Shipyards continue their production unabated. Still the Nobilite feels free to send their political wrath against any person (e.g. Rogue Trader) or corporation that is found using said technology.[1]
