It's a lot less fiction than many other fictional spaceships. It's not an FTL drive or anything, it's just an ordinary rocket engine with an extremely high Thrust-Weight ratio
And that thrust to weight and high specific impulse is because it's using fusion pellet design. Coincidentally the same strategy which recently got energy gain from the national laboratory.
