- Hyperdriveplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigHyperdrive
Most modern interstellar space travel is achieved using variations on the tachyon transference drive (TTD), variously called the tachyon drive or hyperdrive. This circumvents the laws of mass and energy by “flipping” a vessel travelling at speeds approaching the speed of light into tachyonic particles. These particles have no mass in the convention sense, as they are incapable of interacting with sub-luminal matter. They also travel at the speed of light within their own point of … - n interstellar space travel is achieved using variations on the tachyon transference drive (TTD), vari... mass and energy by "flipping" a vessel travelling at speeds approaching the speed of light into tachyo... ey are incapable of interacting with sub-luminal matter.

Cronox [CRON-ox] is a S-type detached-binary star system consisting of the stars 1GD.Pa-Cordes and 1GD.Pb-Arjos. The two orbit a common barycenter at a sufficient distance for each to have its own independent planetary system.

Official Naming Conventions are common interstellar agreements about the naming of stars, systems and planets.
