Yet even in this new age of space flight, voyages beyond the solar system remained rare traveling to even the nearest star at conventional speeds would take generations.
Yet for others, the airless void of space was just another sea to be crossed, which they did in a variety of craft, from magical to mechanical and from biological to divine.Īs technology improved, travel time between worlds dropped from months and years to days, and the optimal routes between planets became crowded with spacecraft. For some, this was purely magical: powerful spells or artifacts, or quick jaunts through other planes of existence allowed travelers access to their intended world. No one knows which world first achieved spaceflight, but by the beginning of the Modern era, nearly every world had some form of interplanetary travel.
