Space-Crease

Space-Crease technology was invented by the Gaia Organization as a direct successor technology to Ethermatter. The initial theory behind opening a modified Einstein-Rosen Bridge, or a wormhole, had been present for a long time, but with the advent of Ether-based technology, it provided two essential elements Space-Crease technology: the energy required to power and sustain a wormhole, and the shielding required to allow passage through a wormhole.

The wormhole created while based on existing theory, was modified upon actual discovery that even in wormhole subspace, there would be a travel time involved, albeit exponentially smaller than if one were to travel the actual distance by any conventional means.

The Space-Crease Gates themselves exhibit a strong gravitational field, but with G-Suppressors, this can be controlled to some extent. However, for the sake of caution, most, if not all Space-Crease Gates are built far outside of any solar system to avoid any gravitational influence. This was found to be especially important when nearby stars at exit and entry points were found to affect subspace conditions.

After some time, the Space-Crease Engine was invented. It was almost prohibitively expensive and required large amounts of energy not normall accessible on any ship smaller than a carrier. As such, its use as a translight transportation system was limited to but the most powerful. A few commerical civilian ships would be able to utilize the system, but a majority of the time, militaries would incorporate the Space-Crease Engine into all of their super-capital ships, making them not only the heart of their fleet, but also the basis for travel from and to any point in the galaxy, albeit at great cost to energy stores.

With the advancement of technology after the creation of the Coalition of Freedom, Space-Crease engines would become commonplace in the Post-Reclamation era, even amongst ships as small as personal shuttles.

The use of Space-Crease gates would be solely used as transgalactic highways, allowing travel across the universe.

The view from inside a wormhole is entirely bright and white, although with a polarity filter and specialized sensors, one can see that there is a myriad of radiation within the wormhole, from all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, it is also quite turbulent. 'Waves' of energy will often collide with the ship, but so long as the barrier shielding is intact, one can survive the journey unscathed.
