Space travel in the Divine Universe is performed through various mechanisms, and ranges from (relatively) slow to nearly-instantaneous.
Instantaneous[edit | edit source]
Two or more Diasporan Divines are able to form transdimensional gates between each other. (Though it is not strictly space travel, they can also seal off enemy Divines into a sort of pocket dimension using this ability. This requires the Divines forming the pocket remain inside it.)
Stitches are fixed transdimensional gates connecting two points seen in certain parts of the Quire system. They may have been created directly or indirectly by Quire itself.
The Divine Principality uses the Portcullis System, its own system of gates, to travel between star systems. These are controlled by the Divine Space. Present, another Divine of the Principality, is capable of teleporting anywhere in the galaxy.
Slow[edit | edit source]
Spaceships attempting to travel between star systems without using the above or other methods of instantaneous travel will take a while, on the order of months even for neighboring systems. Travel within star systems is more doable. The advent of the Perennial Wave is known to have disrupted FTL methods of travel.
During COUNTER/Weight, the Apostolosian Empire was known for using ships with golden solar sails to travel outside of established stellar lanes of travel.[1][2] This technology was passed down to residents of the Twilight Mirage as well as later generations of Apostolosians, and seen in Twilight Mirage, the Road to PALISADE, and PALISADE.[3][4][5] Later generations of Apostolos sometimes used unmanned 'javelin' antennae which would be sent through dark space at higher speeds, picking up messages along the way, before reaching their destination, when they'd be launched back.[6]
The New Earth Hegemony attacked the Divine Fleet by using sleep detachment squads, who would travel in suspended animation until reaching their destination. This was affected by the time dilation of FTL travel and then elongated by the Twilight Mirage into time ranges of thousands of years.[7]
The Nobel used a sort of cannon to shoot a pod with Valence inside into the Partizan system. Like sleep detachment, this technique has no return mechanism.[8]
