About the ‘Verse

I was playing around with ideas on how to get folks from point A to point B in the universe and this little plot bunny popped up! The ‘verse is still in the proto stages and I need to sit down and suss out just how the skipdrive travel works and how folks fall out of time.

It’s meant to be a very soft science fiction universe and most likely I’ll handwave the science in order to play around with the immortality and the worldbuilding.
