GRANDHOLD OF ABYSS

SECTION 1
ABSTRACT

There are a variety of different methods of exceeding the speed of causality. Each method devised (excluding skipgate) is overall superior to all older forms of supercausal transit.

SECTION 2
SUMMARY

Supercausal transit methods are ordered by their date of initial development.

ALCUBIERRE

• MAX. SPEED: 500,000c
• AVERAGE WINDUP: 20 sec.
• PHASIC: Optional
• DESCRIPTION: Creates a spatial bubble around an object. Space expands behind the direction of travel, and contracts ahead. It does not rely on a paradimension, so it may be used in other paradimensions.

SLIPSPACE

• MAX. SPEED: 1,300,000c
• AVERAGE WINDUP: 11.1 sec.
• PHASIC: Always
• DESCRIPTION: Creates a spatial breach in/out of Slipspace. Must create another spatial breach to leave.

HYPERSPACE

• MAX. SPEED: 4,500,000c
• AVERAGE WINDUP: 5 sec.
• PHASIC: Always
• DESCRIPTION: Creates a spatial breach into Hyperspace. Capable of changing 'depth', which affects maximum speed.

SLIPWARP

• MAX. SPEED: 13,500,000c
• AVERAGE WINDUP: 2.5 sec.
• PHASIC: Always
• DESCRIPTION: Creates a spatial breach in/out of Slipspace. Hybrid Alcubierre system allows supercausal motion inside Slipspace. Must create another spatial breach to leave.

SKIPGATE

• MAX. SPEED: 10,125,000c
• AVERAGE WINDUP: N/A
• PHASIC: N/A
• DESCRIPTION: Forms a skipgate (aka wormhole) through spatial boring; 'drilling' through spacetime to create a spatial bridge between two points in space. Progress is rapidly lost if spatial boring entirely stops before skipgate formation.

HYPERWARP

• MAX. SPEED: 40,500,000c
• AVERAGE WINDUP: 1.66 sec.
• PHASIC: Always
• DESCRIPTION: Creates a spatial breach into Hyperspace. Hybrid Alcubierre system allows supercausal motion inside Slipspace. Capable of changing 'depth', which affects maximum speed.

ARGOSPACE

• MAX. SPEED: Variable (average of 4,500,000c)
• AVERAGE WINDUP: 5 sec.
• PHASIC: Always
• DESCRIPTION: Creates a spatial breach into Argospace. Lanon is a vital fuel in the process of entering and exiting Argospace.

ARGOWARP

• MAX. SPEED: Variable (average of 40,500,000c)
• AVERAGE WINDUP: 1.66 sec.
• PHASIC: Always
• DESCRIPTION: Creates a spatial breach into Argospace. Hybrid Alcubierre system allows supercausal motion inside Argospace. Lanon is a vital fuel in the process of entering and exiting Argospace.

QUANTUM FLUX-DISPLACEMENT

• MAX. SPEED: 486,000,000c
• AVERAGE WINDUP: 0.42 sec.
• PHASIC: Always
• DESCRIPTION: Converts object into Foundspace-compatible quantum objects and transmits them to another location, after which the object is converted back into regular baryonic matter. Uses Phi-Matter in the conversion process. Conversion preserves consciousness.
