Space Travel

Space travel is a common feature of farfuture settings. Faster-than-light (FTL) engines propel ships at incredible speeds through the void of space as they navigate from one star system to the next.

Not every campaign will allow the full range of FTL speeds; in fact, many campaigns may not allow FTL travel at all, limiting character to use of generation ships, space gates, or simply local in-system travel – either because such technology is not physically possible in the setting, or because technology hasn’t yet reached that level of advancement.

Navigating in space is a complicated affair. It requires complex calculations, expert engineering, and sensitive sensors. In order to make an insterstellar voyage, various attribute checks must be made – these attribute checks determine the time it takes to make the journey and the condition the ship and its crew are in upon arrival.
