Starship

Starship (a.k.a. interstellar spacecraft) are spacecraft designed to travel between star systems or galaxies.

Human starships
We do not know at which point in history Humans developed starships, although they seem to exist by the early 22nd century. (DW: Nightmare of Eden)


 * It is possible that the stunnel link between Earth and Arcturus stalled the invention of cost effective starships. (NA: Transit)

Methods
Starships have two basic ways of traversing interstellar space:


 * Starships which utilize faster-than-light travel.
 * Starship which travel at near to or just under the speed of light but make allowances for the distances involved.
 * Ships that put their crew and/or passengers into suspended animation, often using cryogenic suspension.
 * Example: The Mayflower (DWM: Profits of Doom)
 * Generation starships.
