Stellar Travel Methods

From EnorisWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Stellar travel in Enoris space is largely done by two different methods: wormhole transit (for interstellar travel) and Alcubierre transit. Both of these methods allow rapid transportation of spacecraft, without the time dilation stemming from the theory of relativity. Both also make heavy use of negative matter. Together, these methods create large transit systems connecting vast numbers of star systems, which would be otherwise inaccessible.

Most of the transit systems are public systems, mandated and controlled by departments and officials controlling that region of space. Throughout most of space-faring history, this has been the Enorisian empire. Some powerful corporations also have private routes, mostly of wormhole gates, for quick access between different systems, planets, or other locations. A few of these are open to the general public, but most are solely for corporate use.

Some spacecraft are outfitted with equipment capable of reaching near-light speeds, but these are few and far between. While they require less energy than a wormhole generator, they are incapable of travelling as long of distances as wormhole generating technology. Many that opt for these types of drive defend it by stating how it only needs a generator to work, and it doesn't need the cumbersome containers designed to hold negative matter.
