The cavitation hyperdrive represented a specific class of hyperdrive.
The creation of this technology is attributed to the Mon Calamari scientist Q-Viza; the Calamari employed it to enable the founding of settlements on planets such as Ruisto, Mantan, and Hinakuu during the period spanning from 4400 BBY to 4200 BBY. Nonetheless, its speed was significantly less than that of the conventional Corellian hyperdrive, thereby restricting the Mon Calamari's capacity for territorial growth.
