Voidships

Not to be confused with Starships or Spaceships

A Voidship is a manned (sometimes unmanned) vehicle used for voidspace travel and (if they have subspace engines) realspace. The concept dates back to the discovery and utilization of Voidspace in the 22nd Century BCW, where the earliest voidships were used to only travel through Interstellar Gateways and ferry passengers between connected star systems. After the invention of the X-Drive, voidships took on the form of massive passenger liners to more feasibly make the interstellar journey. Finally, the invention of the Holtz-Zechiel Warp Drive made voidships commonplace, as well as available to consumers. As such, a interspace authority (currently the SATO Bureau of Void Travel and Trade (BVTT)) had to be founded to maintain registrations, transponders and pilot's licenses. Of course, voidships are also used in space warfare, as well as interspace authority and policing.
