| The first widescale use of gates was for transmitting data, making this the oldest of the 4 networks. Humanity still uses classic radio EM to transmit voice, video, and data as they always have. By broadcasting the signals directly into a nearly microscopic gateway built into the transceivers themselves, they can bypass pesky things such as light lag. The biggest drawback that remains unsolvable is the effects of time dilation when two nodes on the network are at extreme velocities relative to each other. Though for most communications this is not much of an issue. | The first widescale use of gates was for transmitting data, making this the oldest of the 4 networks.

| | The Einstein-Rosen Bridge Drive, most commonly referred to as the bridge drive, is a highly efficient version of a modern chemical rocket invented in 472 [[Diaspora|PD]]. For most of their history to this point, sending data had been possible through the Gs network, but not mass. After nearly a hundred years of research, however, mankind was finally able to send matter through the portals. This quickly resulted in a new kind of star drive that dramatically shortened travel time throughout the Sol system. |
| | |
| | The drive itself functions as a conventional chemical rocket in effect, but through the use of multiple carefully placed and tuned portals, it is able to burn continuously, venting waste heat through the portals and away from the ship. It is connected to a fuel network that allows the ship to have an effectively infinite amount of fuel without the infinite mass. Taken together, these two things mean that in normal operation, a Bridge Drive equipped starcraft can accelerate at a comfortable G continuously until the midpoint between it's origin and destination, cut the drive, flip, and burn retrograde at the same rate, providing passengers with far shorter transit times and gravity throughout most of the voyage. |
| | |
| | Bridge Drive equipped vessels typically don't link the engine directly to the portal, however, as the fuel system exists to keep their backup tanks full at all times. This allows the ship to have enough Delta V to effect emergency maneuvers or reach a safe port of call in case of a loss of connection to the Gf network. |

| ===== Ship Design ===== | ===== Ship Design ===== |
| | Ships in Haunted Worlds come in the form or two major categories, those limited to use in system, and those capable of travelling between star systems. The primary difference between the two is their ability to utilize Transit Shields. |

| | ==== Interplanetary Vessels ==== |
| | Interplanetary ships are any class of vessel restricted to use solely between bodies within one star system. Typically shuttles, personal craft, yachts, and industrial ships, their design is as varied as their purpose. The one commonality between ships of this class, however, is that they are either incapable of producing enough thrust to move the mass of a transit shield, or their design limits their compatibility with the superstructure. These are, by a wide margin, the most common spacecraft in human occupied space. |
