In my setting, many systems amongst the more populous regions have multiple freight hubs orbiting the star just outside the 100d jump horizon - anywhere between 3 and 6 of them, depending on the volume of trade and the distance to the inner worlds. The idea is that interstellar freighters would...

I've been having fun in Photoshop to build up a catalog of planetary images for my campaign. It's set in the Crucis Margin sector, in and around a system called Guerzim (Bright Heavens Sub-Sector 1626). Taking a lead from the old Judges Guild (non-canon) publications my friend and I are...

The jury is still out on this for me. According to the rule book, the transit time for 1 AU (the distance from the sun to the earth - approximately 150 million km) is 27.6 hours at 6g. Using high school physics (a = (v2 - v1) / t), I did the sums. Assuming a standing start, after 27.5 hours at...

Interesting replies, thanks everyone. I agree that the actual mechanics of space ship movement don't make for especially interesting game play - it's all about story-telling after all. So I'll declare to my players that the artificial gravity generators also include inertial compensators...

Time travel assumes that someone's memories are unaffected by the change - so they knew the past-that-was and can now see a present-that-is and can tell the difference. My view of time travel is that everyone affected by a change in the past either no longer exists in the future-that-will-be or...
