'''This is the primary timeline for lore, detailing important events such as the discovery of species and the founding of NanoTrasen.'''
=Interstellar Travel=
Interstellar travel is prolific across the Orion Spur. Long trips across the stars continue to become more affordable for commoners, especially in the 2460’s. This is a page dedicated to the specifics of this travel, ships and stations which are most often encountered, and the primary differences between warp and bluespace.


==Bluespace Travel==
NanoTrasen was not always the dominant economic power of the galaxy. It was originally founded by Xavier Trasen in 2346, [[Galactic Standard Time]], and specialized in advanced gene therapy. It expanded to general scientific research, rivaling Einstein Engines, until the fateful day that it discovered phoron...
In modern times, the most frequently utilized form of space travel - especially over long distances - is “bluespace travel.”


This is the usage of phoron to bore tunnels into the Bluespace Dimension, afterwhich the vessel uses on-board propulsion to place itself into the dimension and begin travel. During travel through bluespace, the ship is quickly enveloped in a tightly-conforming “liquid” which fills the Bluespace Dimension, and is highly dangerous and anomalous in nature. This often spells disaster when it enters unsealed areas of ships, and all bluespace-capable vessels utilize multiple failsafes as well as energy shields to prevent the dimension from entering the ship.
== Formation and Early Years ==


Travel through bluespace works by shortening distances tremendously between the starting point and destination. Once inside bluespace, the ship is unable to move through normal means, and requires a specialized bluespace drive to move. Different drives move the ships at different speeds, with the speeds below indicative of their respective maximum velocities in Bluespace.
*'''2346:''' NanoTrasen is officially founded by Xavier Trasen, who is at the time 47 years old. It has a net worth rivalling that of Einstein Engines, the original 'mega-corporation', as it has developed advanced medical technology.


Bluespace travel is very overt to onlookers, with a visible “photon wake” being generated by ships travelling through it. While those inside the bluespace dimension can not see out, their vessels are very visible outside, and can even be interacted with were it not for the risk of intersecting paths or slipping into the dimension with them, without escape. The mesmerizing and sparkly appearance of a ship traveling through bluespace is also indicative of its extreme ease of spotting, tracking and worse yet - following, on its course using many types of sensory apparatus.
*'''2403:''' NanoTrasen acquires the mining rights to the Romanovich Cloud in the Tau Ceti system (an Inner-inner colony system). NanoTrasen eagerly invests in the system, constructing a research station on one of the asteroids alongside their mining centers.

*'''Low-end bluespace drives found in shuttles and corvettes tend to reach velocities of .10 lightyears a day, with the highest end reaching .25LYD.'''


*'''Mid-range, expensive bluespace drives found in frigates and destroyers tend to reach velocities of .30 lightyears a day, with the highest end reaching .50LYD.'''
== Discovery of the Skrell ==


*'''Heavy-duty, powerful bluespace drives found in cruisers tend to reach velocities of .60 lightyears a day, with the highest end reaching .75LYD.'''
*'''2413:''' The discovery of the Skrell and the consequent development of Bluespace drives has Xavier Trasen recognize the massive potential in energy research. Several new research stations are built in Tau Ceti and in the frontier of Sol Alliance space, and the corporation begins pouring millions of credits into experiments and prototypes for enhanced warp travel, which is currently extremely expensive and cumbersome. They compete with Einstein Engines, who have begun their own research.


*'''Capital bluespace drives found in battleships and larger tend to reach velocities of .85 lightyears a day, with the highest end reaching 1 LYD.'''
== The Discovery of Phoron==


==Warp Travel==
*'''2417:''' In the Romanovich Cloud in the outer edges of Tau Ceti, NT discovers the resource ‘Phoron’. This element becomes an immensely efficient fuel source, effectively ending the growing energy crisis that humanity was facing, while further research quickly proved that it can make bluespace travel safe, efficient, and profitable. Phoron quickly becomes the prefered fuel and energy generating commodity. Einstein Engines and the Sol Alliance had poured tens of billions of credits and several years upgrading the previous warpgates, which are rendered completely obsolete by this discovery as NanoTrasen's phoron-powered bluespace is a hundred times more efficient than regular warp-travel. NT becomes excessively wealthy, using its exclusive patents on phoron refining and generation to become the single most powerful corporation in the known galaxy.


Nearly 300 years of history have solidified warp as the mainstay for galactic travel, however since the discovery of Phoron, Bluespace and the more modern means of travel they provide, it has dwindled. Warp is still commonly used as a back-up means of propulsion for larger vessels and small short-ranged vessels benefit greatly from the cheaper costs. Older fleets such as the Scarabs benefit greatly from the vast majority of their vessels possessing warp capability, cheapening travel significantly for the grand mass of ships.
== Discovery of the Tajara ==


Warp works by very literally warping the space around a ship or multiple ships, riding on a cosmic deformation that facilitates pushing the ships dozens of lightyears at a time. When inside a “warp bubble,” ships are very difficult to stop through external forces and are able to freely pass through anything not purpose-built to stop them. Ships entering warp are simply seen as speeding up very, very quickly to an onlooker, before stopping abruptly and blasting off into the void.
*'''2418:''' The discovery of the Tajaran homeworld of Adhomai by exploration ships equipped with new bluespace drives is quickly realized as a potentially profitable enterprise for NanoTrasen. There are accusations that despite being hindered by the Sol Alliance, NanoTrasen intentionally inflamed conflict on Adhomai to further their own ends. They use the situation to their advantage, bringing many Tajaran into their workforce, albeit with much lower pay and benefits than human or skrell.


Starting a warp engine requires no phoron, but it is power hungry all the same. They require no direct fuel source beyond energy from a ship’s own reactor to provide movement.
== Bluespace Gates ==


Low-end warp drives are roughly a quarter of the highest possible bluespace speeds for their respective weight classes, while the highest end can reach up to half. Higher speeds are possible to obtain but generally avoided due to safety concerns and lack of necessary power in even the most efficient or over-tuned vessels.
*'''2425:''' NanoTrasen wins a contract with the Sol Alliance to construct the first "Bluespace Gates", which quickly replace Warp Gates and allow travel between entire star systems in a matter of minutes or hours. Einstein Engines begins to see its profits fall as it stacked its entire decks in Warp Gates, which are now rendered obsolete due to how expensive and energy-intensive they are. NanoTrasen becomes the leader in both medical research, and a titan of energy.


==Sublight Interstellar Propulsion==
== Discovery of Unathi ==
The standards for interstellar propulsion involving sublight speeds are only addressed nowadays by racers and atmospheric-capable spacecraft. Moving in the literal sense without utilizing bluespace or warp pushes vessels of any kind to their extremes. Even the most powerful gravity generators and dampeners can not ease all inertia for a ship’s crew, making sublight travel slow and meticulous.


=Ships and Stations=
*'''2433:''' A NanoTrasen-funded exploration mission discovers the Unathi on their home planet of Moghes. Xavier Trasen is pressed by the board of directors to monopolize on this new species before other trans-stellar corporations have the chance. They enter into a race with other corporations and the Sol Alliance itself to compete for influence on Moghes. It takes a massive war between the Unathi and rumours of NanoTrasen selling weapons and technology to the competing factions, but until events in 2457 NanoTrasen remained the only connection that Moghes possessed with the rest of the galaxy, owning all of the shuttleports and bluespace communication on the planet's surface. Many Unathi still accept contracts with NanoTrasen, eager to escape their war weary home planet. Most of them find work in the Internal Security of NanoTrasen, where they become a considerable force to be reckoned with.
Spaceships in the 25th century are a common sight. Different star nations and alien powers use different models, designations, and hull types that makes specifics impossible. There are giant barges, small freighters, huge carriers and battleships, heavily armored cruisers, and more. The primary distinction between all ships is whether or not they are equipped with Bluespace Drives that allow them to use FTL outside the network of Bluespace Gates. Military, research, and scouting vessels typically have bluespace drives while the majority of commuter or civilian traffic must use bluespace gates to go between star systems. Warp drives are also relatively common, being a cheaper, albeit slower, solution to non-gate travel.


Ships, much like stations, hold a three or four-letter prefix in their name that designates the ownership, type, and classification of the ship. To get a prefix that works for that faction, abbreviate the faction then add the ship type. For example,
== Rise of the Syndicate ==


*'''SAMV''' - Sol Alliance Military Vessel<br>
*'''2440:''' With its power and economic might nearly unquestionable, Nanotrasen uses its massive influence to directly influence the galaxy for the first time. It directly purchases several systems in the frontier, for all intents and purposes becoming the government of many small colony worlds. It also begins to expand its merchant navy, and begins changing its small internal security force into two new organizations: The NanoTrasen Navy, and the Emergency Response Team, who both work together to defend NanoTrasen interests from raiders and opportunists. These moves are very controversial, and it is only by the influence NanoTrasen has in Sol Alliance politics that they get away with these actions. Seeing that political pressure does little, disaffected and angry groups begin to plot more severe methods of undermining NanoTrasen...
*'''EMV''' - Elyran Military Vessel<br>
*'''EMV''' - Eridani Military Vessel<br>
*'''HIMS''' - His Imperial Majesty's Ship<br>
*'''JFV''' - Jargon Federal Vessel<br>
*'''EEV''' - Einstein Engines Vessel <br>
*'''NTV''' -  Nanotrasen Vessel <br>
*'''PMV''' - Private Military Vessel.<br>


==Ships and Sizes==
*'''2443:''' Xavier Trasen dies at the age of 97, and his daughter Miranda Trasen takes over as the new CEO of NanoTrasen at 30 years of age.


{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
*'''2445:''' A massive wave of terrorist attacks strike NanoTrasen facilities and assets across known space. The attacks are claimed by a shadowy organization known as the Syndicate, who condemn NanoTrasen's power in the galaxy and demand to see its monopoly ended. NanoTrasen profits take a hard hit, and the mega-corporation uses this as a reason to further expand the power of both its navy and its influence in Tau Ceti, which escaped most of the attacks.
! colspan="4" style="font-weight: bold;" | Military Vessels
|-
| '''Class'''
| '''Average Length'''
| '''Average Crew Complement'''
| '''Notes'''
|-
| Corvette
| 25-100m
| 16-50 up to 80
| These ships are the mainstay of many fleets and serve many purposes. Scouts, patrol ships, search and rescue, and more, the majority are able to conduct atmospheric operations and smaller examples are capable of landing on carriers. '''These can cost about as much as a house.'''
|-
| Frigate
| 100-300m
| 100-150
| Larger and more armored than corvettes, these tend to be the largest ships in the small Frontier navies. They pack more armor and guns. Some frigates are of atmospheric operations, for example the Sol Alliance Navy, Valkyrie Class frigate. '''These can cost somewhere around twice as much to four times as much as an equivalent Corvette.'''
|-
| Destroyer
| 250-450m
| 100-500
| Heavily armed and equipped with advanced electronic warfare and countermeasures that can wreck havoc on enemy fleet's computer systems and defend against the same. Only a very select handful are capable of entering the atmosphere because of the general size and weight. Destroyers and above are usually capable of long-term, independent operations. They are primarily used to help allied corvettes that bit off more than they could chew. '''These, and ships of larger classes, are prohibitively expensive for anyone but specialist groups, or people such as rich pirate lords with a group to back up the price.'''
|-
| Cruiser
| 400-800m
| 400-1000
| It is extremely rare for frontier nations to possess even a single heavy cruiser. Cruisers are used as the gunboats of the galaxy, with the Sol Alliance sending cruisers on patrols in frontier systems to project their power. Many Frontier nations are incapable of even hoping to scratch an Alliance cruiser, so they usually operate in small star nation's space with impunity.
|-
| Battleship
| 750-1200m
| up to 2000
| Bristling with weapons and armor, the battleship is the bread and butter of space navies. A battleship always serves as the flagship of any star nation that can get their hands on one.
|-
| Carrier
| 500-2000m
| 750-5000 Crew
500-9000 Air Crew
| Vary massively in size and crew build up due to differing roles and craft carried. Drone and Scout Carriers are built to be smaller, faster and more agile, like the Icarus that defends the NSS Aurora
|-
| Super-Dreadnaught
| 500-1000m
| 2000 - 5000 Crew
| With immense firepower and incredibly thick armor, Super-Dreadnaughts follow the philosophy that "more is better". They are an unusual evolution from previous classes of warships. Only the [[Unathi|Izweski Hegemony]] currently possess ships of this class, with each one serving as the flagship for a fleet. Despite being huge vessels they are still built for ramming actions.
|}


=== General Purpose Ships ===
== The Formation of Biesel ==


A '''Shuttle''' is the smallest of all spacefaring vessels. Shuttles are very common and inexpensive. Many larger ships and carriers often have two or more shuttles for atmospheric operations. These cost just a bit more than a hovercar.
*'''2452:''' In the face of growing instability and a worsening recession, the Sol Alliance caves to the pressure of both NanoTrasen and Tau Ceti politicians in the pocket of the mega-corporation. Tau Ceti is officially granted independence and becomes the Republic of Biesel. The Tau Ceti Free Trade Zone is formed as well, giving NanoTrasen considerable power and influence directly in the center of Sol Alliance space. With Biesel seen as little more than a puppet of NanoTrasen, it becomes the target of considerable ire from both the Syndicate and disaffected citizens.  


===Space Stations===
== The Creation of the NSS Aurora ==


There are all kinds of space stations in orbit of planets or out in deep space. They vary from spaceports where ships dock and crew mingle, sprawling habitats where entire generations live and work, deep space pirate bases, bristling cannons in orbit of planets, giant refineries or factories, and more. Any sort of industry or infrastructure that would make sense to put out into space (and somewhere it doesn't seem to make any sense) is out there somewhere. Many of these stations are worked in by the [[Offworlder Humans|Spacers]].
*'''2454:''' NanoTrasen is now once more the dominant economic power of the galaxy. With Biesel in its pocket, it constructs in Tau Ceti one of its most advanced and state-of-the-art research stations in the Romanovich Cloud on the outer edge of the system: The NSS Aurora. It becomes one of the most important research centers in the possession of NanoTrasen, allowing a wide range of research and experiments to be done rather than having a single speciality. It also sees the construction of the NTCC Odin, or "Central Command", which becomes the central hub for NanoTrasen in Tau Ceti.


== Civilian/Commercial Vessels ==
== Now ==


=====Freighters=====
*'''2457-2461:''' The NSS Aurora has become an important center of scientific advancement for NanoTrasen. It handles and researches new deadly diseases, still investigates the mysterious entities known as "Slimes", advances phoron research through its Supermatter engine and a new, experimental "Tesla" engine. as well as new ways to integrate man with machine through Robotics. In 2461, NanoTrasen founded a new sister station to the Aurora, the NSS Upsilon, where they now conduct most of their research, with the Aurora instead serving as a Phoron Mining and forward research station. However, the Aurora's lessening role in Research hasn't shattered its importance by much, as it still exists as the public flagship of the Corporation. It remains a target of unseen powers. Old enemies in the Syndicate, eager and greedy raiders, and even supernatural entities disturbed by NanoTrasen exploration and experiments have set the station on an uncertain future...
The mainstay sight of commercial spacefaring is the freighter vessel, used for the transport of supplies, raw materials, and other goods from pretty much every destination in the known universe. There are further subclasses of Bulk Freighters, Tankers, Barges, etc. These are relatively inexpensive, a small step up from a shuttle, costing around the same as a high-end car, not including secondary expenses. It is not unknown for certain owners to stick with a freighter, simply upgrading them as much as the power source and hull allows.

[[Category:Pages]]
=====Ferries/Liners=====
Used for the transportation of passengers and light goods, as well as vehicles between planets and systems. Ferries are smaller craft but are larger than shuttles. Luxurious ferries are called Star Yachts. Asides from Star Yachts, their price driven up solely due to their target audience, ferries are around the same cost as Freighters, if not slightly cheaper.
 
=====Residence Vessels=====
Residence vessels are a catch-all term for various ships that have been retrofitted or modified for usage as a residential space. Often these are cheaper and older models of ferries and shuttles bought from scrapping zones, retrofitting current models being more expensive. When purchased, these vessels are normally heavily modified to suit the needs of the residents: Bedrooms, botanical gardens, even workshops and pools have been found on residence vessels. They normally have rudimentary and basic ship systems on board, if any at all. While ships maintain a costly investment, to those willing to pay the price, they remain a perfect investment. A small private place to call your own alone is tempting, but the promise of eventually fixing the vessel, updating it, and using it for contracts is a dream many ship buyers hope to fulfill. Megacorporations are always happy to expand their roster of freighters and transports. For the daring, the path to more illegal but lucrative jobs is always open.  Stations with permanent residences, such Unity Station and the Odin itself have hangars full of people living communally within residence vessels. They are also popular within newly settled or poorer colonies across space or to form off the grid towns on developed worlds. These generally cost around the same as an equivalent motorhome.
 
== Price ==
While spacefaring vessels can be quite expensive for the layman, there are several factors that can make the bill less painful. The primary factor is what drive you have, bluespace drives being almost a lifetime investment for anything larger than a frigate, the average price for a functional drive for sub-Destroyer vessels being double the ship’s price, not to mention fuel costs. Warp drives are almost half the cost or more, though buyers will have to keep in mind the additional need for cryogenic storages or good entertainment to combat the very long travel times. Capability of the ship to enter atmosphere or not can adjust the price, often larger starships themselves cannot enter a planet’s atmosphere to reduce cost, relying on secondary landing craft. Another factor that can severely reduce cost is having a crew, many hands making light work. Depending on what jobs the crew carries out, legal or otherwise, it is not unheard of for a crew to own even a Frigate. Any larger ships such as a Destroyer are typically staffed by specialist groups, military, corporate, pirate or otherwise. Only rich independent groups own a Destroyer, only the very rich or militaries/corporations own Cruisers. Other miscellaneous factors can be age of the vessel, group of manufacture, power source, source of parts (and their quality/amount, such as weapons, armament, energy shielding, sensors, etc), and how qualified the crew is to repair it themselves. Naturally, choosing to live aboard ones' vessel rather than owning a second home can help.
