First Contact - Illustrated!
Any moment now the word would come back from ground control and he would be the first live person to make the jump to faster than light travel.
Torpedo Run Chapter 22
Rt drives functioned via complex scientific processes that required exactly a certain amount of energy to generate the singularity that made faster than light travel effectively possible.
Star Sapphire: Prologue
On top of faster-than-light travel, on top of a galaxy of new experiences and peoples, major house nal'galagar stood to give the uvand back their future as a species.
