The first New Voyager probes to leave our system beamed back the results of their experiments on the nature of space and gravity outside our solar system. That information created new theories about the possibility of the long-fabled faster-than-light travel.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The New Voyager Program was built around swarms of thousands of tiny spacecraft with solar sails. Powerful orbital laser arrays accelerated them up to one quarter of the speed of light for the trip across the interstellar gulfs. They traveled[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I happen to be difficult to kill. I think it’s one of my more endearing properties. Along with my fantastic fashion sense and amazing personality of course. I have a lot of good points you know. But being hard to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Humanity did not have enough operational starships to explore every nearby system in the early days of interstellar travel. Hyperdrives were large, complicated affairs that required supernational economies of scale to build. They were far too rare to be “wasted”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My family had extensive business dealings in the Hyades Cluster long before The War came upon us all. We had operations on many Hyades worlds and contacts on many others. That is one of the reasons I had some standing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
