  The only comment I'll make in connection with this question is to
  note that one of the "official" publications, possibly dating
  back to the Classic Traveller days, had a sentence in it, in an
  article on the Droyne, that said, in effect, that "their
  hand-made Jump Drives are probably the finest in existence."

  As to the rest of the starship, deponent saith naught.
