Luminous

Hyperspace is the general purpose term for faster than light travel pioneered by the terrans, in the Shaw-Fujiwaki FTL drive. Since then Kobol engineers and Nalki "tech-singers" have improved the devices connection with the so called aether, the physical protrusions of the 4th dimension into our three-dimensional space. This is most easily picturead as matter moving faster than the speed of light, but still subject to an only slightly slowed flow of time, bypassing Einstein's theory of relativity. For additional explanation of an inter-dimensional phenomenon, try reading Flat-land.

Nalki tech-singers are Nalki scientists who use their psionic powers to aid in the design and function of machinery and other advanced devices.
