Kinetic space travel

The most advanced of conventional kinetic drives allows crafts to accelerate at speeds of up to 1,000 m/s2. Beyond such speeds crafts will tear apart under their internal stresses. People, however, cannot sustain stresses higher than a tenth of that (10 G). Although hyperspace warp has been developed, the kinetic drive is still necessary for moving around when out of hyperspace, maneuvering and battles.
