The Tinvyma Piatypeda is the Poku Saeruo Degonjo version of Continuum Distortion Drive, it became acceptable for use on clan vessels in 754 CY (YE 35).
The Tinvyma Piatypeda was put into production to allow clan vessels to operate with allied vessels in a compatible manner.
The Clan first encountered Continuum Distortion Drive technology in 740 CY (YE 21) while salvaging Yamataian debris. Initial tests with the alien made equipment were made on a clan ship that was used as a test bed. After studying the technology, the test ship was put into storage and the technology filed.
It was not until after the YE 35 HSC - YSE Treaty that work began on a Clan developed version of the drive. Once the prototype was tested it became available for use on clan ships that were constructed, or retrofitted with the new drive. The first new ship design to include this engine was the HS-SC2-1a Yome Daho'ka (Battle Hawk) Class Ship.

The Poku Saeruo Degonjo tunes their Tinvyma Piatypeda to a unique energy signature compared to those in use by known factions.
Due to the legacy of stealth in the mindset of the clan, military version Tinvyma Piatypeda can often be tuned to match the signature of known factions.
