	This reduced the time of the transit, thereby reducing the disorienting after-effects of wormhole jumps on humans so that they generally passed within a few seconds or were non-existent. Prior to Kovel's improvements, the effects could last up to several minutes. This also significantly reduced the stresses placed on the ship and the drive itself to near zero, practically eliminating the chances of catastrophic hull breach or drive failure during jumps.

 The drive was first commercially introduced in 3162 at the [[Piram Shipyards and Construction|Piram Shipyards]] in the [[Naya Piram system]].

The continued improvement of the drive is supported heavily by the [[Interstellar Cataloguing and Exploration Service]]. It is smaller than the Halfen Stardrive, which made it feasible for much smaller ships to make use of wormholes without being carried by larger ships. The smallest ship known to have a Kovel jump drive is 40 meters in diameter.
