| (Breaking headlines that have just got our attention. Kyo Rusenai, only heir to the rich, well known and powerful Rusenai dragon clan son of its head Chidori Rusenai, is missing, believed kidnapped. He was last seen as a guest of the Tomyia family on Toro Hub. A Rusenai spokesperson stated that the situation is being investigated thoroughly and they have hired a team of licensed appointed bounty hunters to track Kyo and his possible kidnappers and any substantiated information regarding his kidnapping carries a large reward.) (Truy-corporation has announced that it has finally gained control of Geriusl 6 after months of hostility with a population of settled westerners. The breakthrough was achieved when UBC mercenaries broke through the westerners camp and killed most of the opposing fighters. Geriusl 6 is a small inhabitable planentoid in council space with around 300 westerners illegally living on it. Truy-corporation took possession of the planentoid with a business deal. However the local Westerners would not leave and the company took steps to ensure the safety of its resources and personnel on the planentoid and talks broke down into violence. However the Awakened have responded to this and a spokesperson for them has said that the light of retribution of the lord will come swiftly on those that commit such an injustice. |

Nexus gates consist of gigantic rings in space that use fusion reactors to generate a magnetic field capable of holding open a collapsing wormhole. This allows starships to enter the wormhole, engage their engines, and reduce the effective travel distance to the wormhole’s exit point by a factor of 1,000. For example, the 48,360,000-mile trip from the Earth to Mars would be reduced to 48,360 miles via a Nexus gate (assuming a wormhole had appeared near the Earth and that its exit point was near Mars). Thus, a starship with ion engines traveling through “Nexus space” could reach Mars in approximately 1.6 hours (instead of 67.2 days) and completely avoid the effects of time dilation. Nexus gates have a few limitations: Nexus gates have only one exit point. Therefore, a Nexus gate from Illisipd VI to Alpha Centauri is useless to characters who don’t want to go to Alpha Centauri. Nexus gates are one-way. The journey to the exit point might be comparatively short, but the journey back could take just as long as it always did—or require a circuitous route from Nexus gate to Nexus gate, some of which could be dozens of light years out of the way. Nexus gates are rarely located near one another. A starship might have to cross an entire system to get from one exit point to the next Nexus gate. Nexus gates are most likely owned by mega-corporations or other ruling bodies that charge for their use. The toll varies according to the real distance between the Nexus gate and the exit point. Nexus gates cannot be used to travel through routes containing Null space, Null space is reflected in nexus space as dense impassible areas of super condensed matter |
