The Traveller Gene: Most people (indeed, whole species) never leave their homeworld: they never venture out of their gravity well, content to work, play, and even thrive on their home planet. Some postulate that there is a genetic basis for the drive of some (and the lack of drive in others) to reach beyond the bounds of a single world into the greater universe: a Traveller Gene. [1]

  • The term is tantamount to dubbing someone a Spacer or Starfarer.
  • They are also known as adventurers, coddiwomples, and by a plethora of other terms.
  • In the Vilani language, they are known as Deraabelars.

Travellers travel. They move between worlds as well as on their surfaces. The distances such travel covers may be interplanetary or interstellar in scale. [2]
