The Maneuver Drive is simply a sublight Warp Drive, this particular Warp Drive produces an acceleration by bending space around the ship so that it accelerates in a certain direction. Since one creates gravity by warping space, it is a Warp Drive. While theoretically capable of exceeding the speed of light, practically it can't because in order to do so, it is necessary to create an event horizon seperating the ship from the external universe, and since no device can communicate with the external warp fields, their is no way to shut it down at faster than light speeds, thus Maneuver Drives are limited to sub-light speeds, and due to the difficulty of stressing space around the space ships, Maneuver drives are limited to an acceleration of no greater than 6 times Earth's gravity. On the plus side, no reaction mass is required, only an energy input from the ship's reactor.
