- 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 … - light into tachyonic particles.

- Official Naming Conventionplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigOfficial Naming Convention
Official Naming Conventions are common interstellar agreements about the naming of stars, systems and planets. Planetary names in particular can be highly politicised, because long-established worlds may have a variety of local names used by different groups or nations, names applied to them by other planets in the same system, and yet other names applied by cultures in distant systems or by colonial powers. - politicised, because long-established worlds may have a variety of local names used by different groups
