More a modification of an existing jump drive more than an original technology, it was created in two different models, with only one having been seen in use, notably by the Word of Blake during the Jihad.

Word of Blake super-jump drive
The Word of Blake styled super-jump technology requires a jump capable ship to have both a regular jump drive and a Lithium-Fusion Battery, in addition to a few minor adjustments to the jump drive disabling certain safety features. When performing a super-jump, the ship starts a normal jump sequence using the jump drive, then less than a second later begins a second jump sequence using the the lithium-fusion battery. The resulting effect is a jump of unprecedented and virtually unlimited range. This style of super-jump has several severe drawbacks, however. First, the super-jump completely and irreparably destroys both the jump drive and lithium-fusion battery, requiring a complete replacement of both, stranding the vessel if no replacement parts or facilities exist in the destination system. Second, the chances of misjump are increased significantly. Finally, the emergence signature is massive and unmistakable, alerting anyone in the system that a very large jumpship has arrived. [1]
Interconnectedness Unlimited super-jump drive
Interconnectedness Unlimited's styled super-jump technology utilized the same method as the Word of Blake's super-jump drive, but introduced significant safety measures that created a large chance that both the jump drive and lithium-fusion battery would survive the super-jump. The result was both a significant increase in cost and weight, as well as a limited maximum jump range still several times that of a normal jump drive. Interconnectedness Unlimited managed to create only one prototype, the results of whether it was functional or not remain a mystery, as the ship was not heard from following a jump with the super-jump drive. Interconnectedness Unlimited has released neither the designs and methods for its supposed super-jump drive, nor has it released a ship incorporating the super-jump drive for sale. [1]
