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 21st 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.
