SJ=>ST, Re: Motive Force

It seems obvious to me that you're not going to be able to generate
the motive force neccessary with a classic SJ helm, so devise a new
one.  For instance (this taken from a write up by yours truly on
ST=>SJ):

AD&D Spelljammer Considerations

Life-Antilife Engines:
Zephram Chocran and his other-species contemporaries first created
the Jamming helm, the standard fast movement magical device used
aboard all Spelljammers.  It wasn't until the discovery of Dicryshal
that allowed the opening of small, portable gates to the Positive and
Negative Energy planes, even in the Phlogiston, that allowed for FTL
movement.  This doubles the speed of any spelljammer in Wildspace,
and can increase the speed of the spelljammer up to nine times normal
cruising speed in the Phlogiston.  It also allows for much larger
ships to be moved at normal Jamming speeds, even in Wildspace
The unique magical reaction of Positive and Negative energy is known
as a P-N explosion.

Dicryshal:
Dicryshal is magically treated crystal shell material.  It's special,
nearly indestructible nature makes it the perfect conduit for the
energies that result from a P-N explosion.  Due to the rarity of a
crystal shell completely devoid of life, full scale mining can only
be legally done in a few areas of space.
