The Advanced Dynamics [[Mass Driver]] or ADMD was a revolutionary starship design developed in [[A.Y.]] 3851 by [[Advanced Dynamics]]. It was initially envisioned as a colonial supply ship. Advanced Dynamic's three prototypes were constructed at the [[Athenaeus Yard]], which was nearly bankrupted by construction over-runs and had to be bailed out by the [[Alliance]] government]].

The ADMD is a mass driver-inspired ship that uses an external pulsed propulsion drive for it's main engine, essentially a drastically scaled-up version of those found on the [[Boing-Boing#Propulsion|Boing-Boing missile]]. Combined with a rigid body and a robust FTL drive, the original ADMD was a marvel of it's time.

The external pulsed propulsion system uses antimater-catalized nuclear explosions to create a highly energetic shockwave which then strikes a pusher plate, which in turn pushes against a shock absorber and mvoes the ship forward. This system produces tremendous delta-V and is capable of reaching speeds approaching 80[[Sublight speeds|PSL]]. In the late [[Ages#The Third Age|Third Age]] when the first ADMDs were built, this was an unheard of speed, as the fastest ships in that size could hope to achieve was a paltry 20PSL.
