- 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.

Position of Cronox in Syndicate space
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.

The Naether is a spatial, or perhaps interspatial region between branes.

Do’ah (DOE-ah) is a small, lilac-white gas giant, the eighth planet of the star Cordes in the Cronox System. It is much smaller than its huge and tempestuous brother Kwato'or (0.26 Jovian-masses).
Do'ah is most likely the only survivor of a number of medium-sized gas world that once circled Cordes, the others having been sucked into the hungry maw of Kwato’or.
