Space Map
*Game Theme Note* The Society of Ether that migrated brought with them a few star charts.
The captain of the Starbridge, when it found Unity, shared its resources and maps. However,
the ship was badly damaged and low on fuel when it docked. The Starbridge has been in
dock for the past decade as the repairs are slow with the limits of the horizon realm.
Each square of this map equals approx 24 million miles of outer space. Other than this, there is no scale represented in relation to RL astronomical phenomenon. With our scale,
Unity is the same distance from the sun as Jupiter is.
Talos is 3.95 Billion miles from the sun, despite our scale.
Space Flight: Remembering that Unity is, more or less, still in the technology level that Earth held between 1995 - 2000, space flight for them is generally slower (for now). There are plenty of RP hooks in this area, +request if you have an idea.
The Starbridge, being the youngest ship and the most recent arrival, can travel 1 map tile in 6 RL days. However, it requires a lot of tass to operate the engines, having been built in a more quintessence rich environment.
The USS Jeffrey Webb, being the oldest ship, can travel 1 map tile approximately 1.5 months. (a bit faster than old space shuttle cruising speed) The hypertech engines don't require quintessence to run.
The Reliant, falls between the previous two ships, traveling 1 map tile in about 20 days. It has engines similiar to the Webb, and is more quintessence/tass economical than The Starbridge.
Plot ideas to pursue: Make an ethership more efficient and faster, repair an ethership (system by system), explore new life and civilizations, discover strange new worlds, try to communicate with earth, try to return to earth (not yet available), and more. Contact staff for more info. Some ideas are better to persue early game and some later.
There is plenty out there to explore and spots to build. It will be very hard to, but
it is possible to put a spot on the maps.
This map represents a flattened version of our space grid. Any item marked on the map may
be on a different Z-axis than zero.
