Interstellar travel takes place through metadimensional

space, a higher-order continuum “understood” by only a
handful of brilliant researchers and astronautic
engineers.
Fortunately, it is not necessary to have an intuitive
understanding of the place in order to operate a spike
drive starship. While modern postech spike drives are
neither as powerful nor as efficient as the exquisite cre-
ations of the Terran Mandate, most TL4 worlds can still
put together the necessary components to get a ship from
one stellar system to another. Within the gravity well cre-
ated by a stellar body,
a spike drive provides sub-light propulsion sufficient to
get the ship to most system locations within a few days at
most. Only at the edge of a solar system, where the
