Z
Zero Shift
This ability is possible by any Orbital Frame at stage 1, but only 2 have achieved stage 2 (Anubis and Jehuty).
Stage 1: The move is achieved by using the vector trap on the frame itself, as a result they disappear temparily from space.
Stage 2: The difference is a program that is installed into the frame, which takes time to settle. Using a combination of thrusters and leaving the vector trap, the program allows the user to move to any designated location, dependant on how powerful the thrusters are.
