Okay, since my Submerged Space submission died, I had to come up with a different way for the Clan to get around. So this is basically the Clan's version of a Wormhole drive.

much less how you will be able to detect anything using tachyons which won’t exactly be scattering back towards where your ship is
to anyone traveling through a rift it will appear as if time is passing normally, not unlike when hyperspace drives are in use. But to those outside the rift it will appear as if the traveler entered and arrived at their target instantaneously.
First, we are not talking IRL, we are talking SARP, and I can use it because its already in an approved tech. One which to quote you is aFor one, Dark matter is not something physical. You can’t create/use dark matter as it is just a placeholder term for something that we haven’t quite yet figured out IRL.
And any tech concept that is approved can be used by other races.Freespacers as they were supposed to be a special ‘low tech’ race.
You completely misrepresented the purpose of the tachyon beam.The Tachyon beam is all sorts of contradictory. You are using it to target the exit of the wormhole, by sending it through the wormhole, which for it to exit the wormhole the exit would have already had to have been formed. Once the tachyons ‘enter’ a wormhole they shouldn’t go anywhere but the wormhole. You have no way of ‘guiding’ a beam of tachyons anywhere much less the exit of a wormhole.
Now if you actually read this you will see that the tachyon beam is fired prior to the formation of the wormhole. And as for the no way of guiding a beam of tachyons, existing tech in the Wiki says we do. I chose tachyons for the targeting beam because they are accepted by science as being particles that travel faster than light. I wanted a plausible way of aiming the wormhole to a given destination, but you can't due that with particles that travel STL because it would take years for them to arrive.To create a wormhole they first saturate a region of space with graviton particles, anti-graviton particles, and dark matter. Then they fire a tachyon beam through the saturated space to target the wormhole mouths. These FTL particles are required so that the exact position of the exit mouth can be determined. After targeting is complete the wormhole is triggered by firing a burst of Baryon particles along the tachyon beam.
