Transportation Technologies of Charted Space

Sophont species, with few exceptions, develop means of locomotion or movement.
- For most planetary species, this means walkers, sophonts who traverse the solid surface of a world using various numbers of legs and peds.
- However, many other forms of locomotion exist for sophonts including: Swimming, flying, digging, amphibious locomotion, triphibious locomotion, and even more exotic means of movement.
- But all lifeforms are limited to their physiological means of locomotion until they develop vehicles using technology.
- Via technology, a sophont species may learn to traverse any environment including jumpspace or even pocket universes.
