I'm a Founder member and I own an antique [[Cobra Mk. III]] model "1984" vintage. With my knowledge of my Cobra's systems backdoor (called a "BBC Model B") enabled me to sneak my nano holo projector into your cargo bay. Don't worry, it won't take up any space, and it will implode by self-destruct leaving nothing but gas which your cargo-bay's air processors will take care of.

We're spoiled in these days of frameshift drives, you can actually travel many hundreds if not thousands of lightyears. I remember the good old days of faraway transits, even before the witchspace drives, but human space was tiny then compared to now, with only 8,000 colonised worlds, administered by the old Galcop organisation.

We're spoiled in these days of frameshift drives, you can actually travel many hundreds if not thousands of lightyears. I remember the good old days of faraway transits, even before the witchspace drives, but human space was tiny then compared to now, with only 2,000 colonised worlds, administered by the old Galcop organisation.

Faraway transits, for those who are too young to know, were very difficult. You had to fly to a single exit location in each solar system, before you could enter the faraway tunnel, which was artificially produced with external satellites. You can read an excellent description of Faraway in the fabled book "[[The Dark Wheel]]" by Robert Holdstock. When Witchspace drives were invented you could jump from anywhere in a system, which you can still do with today's Frameshift drives. This has reduced travel time from weeks (Faraway) via hours (Witchspace) to seconds (Frameshift).
