The Disjunction Drive

The concept behind the disjunction drive is that a field might be disjoint from the object that created it.

It is possible to create a large thin sail that would take these particles and be shoved by them, same as a ship sails the winds here on Earth. This method only works inside solar systems, and thus is a good method for settling ships to speed or decelerating them once they reach another star - if used in tandem with other drive systems.
