Slides

Alien tech: artificial wormholes large enough for ships, and interstellar distances.

History

Older

• Eldritch start and end travel dates from Terra to their world imply slide travel.

• The Faulfenza used a slide to go from Quzen to Qufiil; later, that slide is used again by Zafiil, not long after the establishment of the Alliance.

Modern

• The existence of slides was posited originally by Troy based on anomalous survey data.

• The events during the Birdsong Incident led to the creation of a team to research the slides, consisting of Gertrude, Troy, Silia, Delilah, and Alastar (among others). This team focused on two initiatives immediately: one on locating more slides, and the other on designing tech that could protect a world from being razed by slides.
