History
Human starships
- We do not know at which point in history Humans developed starships, although they seem to exist by the early 21st century. (DW: Nightmare of Eden)
- It is possible that the stunnel link between Earth and Arcturus stalled the invention of cost effective starships. (NA: Transit)
Types
Starships can traverse these distances in two basic ways:
- Starships which utilize faster-than-light travel.
- Starship which travel at or under the speed of light but put crew members in suspended animation.
- Generation starships such as The Ark. (DW: The Ark)
