Standard Jump Drive
Space is large, FTL travel of some form is kinda needed to get anywhere in a timely manner.
Utility
Quick transport between long distances. Space is huge, takes months and years at sub-light speeds to get anywhere, and even at light speed. (Light years is a measurement of distance for a reason.)
The most notable 'misuse' for a jump drive is using it to jump into another ship. Which usually results in one or both ships being heavily damaged or destroyed. Most of the time when this happens it is an accident. Mostly because standard drives have a very long minimum range.

Access & Availability
Common for almost all Sub-Capital ships, some larger Strike Craft can fit one.
Complexity
Very complex, requires a special shielding system to protect the ship the Jump Drive is mounted on. The shield has to be active and stable before the jump drive itself activates. Things... don't go well otherwise.
