- Interstellar Travelling (Travelling in Charted Space)
Description (Specifications)
Many, perhaps most, sophont species are composed of great demographic masses with little motivation to do more than eat, sleep, reproduce, and otherwise survive. Very successful sophont societies learn to encourage, foster, and otherwise support the members of their society who want to do more, who have that drive to succeed.
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]
