− | + | [[Travelling in Charted Space]]: In a sector-spanning [[civilization]] with little standardization and decentralized [[governance]], travelling the [[star]]s can be a risky proposition. The individual [[government]] of any [[world]] may greatly differ in [[culture]] and [[technology]] from its neighbor. Not every [[world]] that should rate an [[amber zone]] or [[red zone]] warning gets one in time. Even the quickest of messages take a week of travel. Yet, some individuals possess a wanderlust and sense of adventure that compels them to seek the [[star]]s. They have the [[Traveller Gene]]. | |

Due to low berth losses and the unreliability of passengers, many such [[starship]]s find themselves with unexpected empty slots. Beggars can't be choosers and sometimes signing onto a colony ship is the most expedient way offworld. |
