'''Generation | A '''Generation Ship''' is a large, self-sustaining environment ship which travels at sub-light speed, allowing very slow interstellar travel. They can retroactively be considered a type of [[Megaship]]. | ||
The first Generation Ship was launched in 2097, and up to 70,000 in total departed the [[Sol]] system over the next several decades. Generation Ships were rendered obsolete with the invention of [[hyperdrive]] technology by [[Li Qin Jao]] in the mid-22nd century, and have not been constructed since. While the vast majority of Generation Ships reached their destinations without incident and established successful colonies, a fraction known as "the Missing" were lost in transit and are now sought by explorers and treasure hunters. | The first Generation Ship was launched in 2097, and up to 70,000 in total departed the [[Sol]] system over the next several decades.
