====== Travel Between the Stars ======

To get from one system to another requires a //Jump// drive. It takes a week to jump between star systems, regardless of the distance travelled. Distance is usually measured in parsecs (3.2616 lightyears), and the best jump drives are capable of moving 6pc in a single jump.

Communication at FTL speeds isn't possible other than by putting a message on a ship and sending it to the destination. This means information often takes weeks or months to traverse known space.

===== Navigation =====

To make a jump, it is necessary to make an Intelligence × //Jump Navigation// check.

^ TN       | 0     | 5    | 10  | 15  | 20    | 30    | 40    | 50   | 60   | 70   | 80   |
^ Accuracy | 100au | 10au | 3au | 1au | 50Mkm | 20Mkm | 10Mkm | 5Mkm | 3Mkm | 2Mkm | 1Mkm |

The check is modified by the TL of the drive:
  * TL 10: -20
  * TL 11: -10
  * TL 12: +0
  * TL 13: +5, and +5 for each TL above 13.

It takes a minute to calculate jump coordinates. The check is made by the GM, and the results aren't known to the player until the ship comes out of Jump space.
