Foldspace Engine

Though the name is a misnomer, the Foldspace Engine is responsible for interplanetary travel and communication. Based on schematics and writings from a long-dead human physicist, Foldspace Engines warp the space around the ship they're installed in, condensing the space before them and expanding it behind the ship. By warping space in this manner, a Foldspace Engine  effectively shortens the distance the ship has left to travel, enabling much higher speeds than conventional propulsion methods.
Foldspace Engines are typically installed on ships alongside more conventional chemical rockets, as the distortion effect from the Engine itself can cause damage both on departure and arrival, and necessitates the ship "drop out" of Foldspace travel a distance away from wherever it is aimed for. The potential for Foldspace Engines to be weaponized in the event of interplanetary war is a hot topic of debate among governments, but no reliable countermeasures have yet to be found.
look its late so this shit isn't RAMP quality but it is based on an actual theoretical technology: the Alcubierre drive.
