Foscolo Drive

Technological achievement

Interstellar space travel

Expanding on principles behind the Foscolo Discontinuity, a consortium of scientists from the European Federation and Japan turn the dream of interstellar space travel into an achievable reality with the development of technology capable of punching a hole into the higher dimensions postulated to exist by Hugo Foscolo. Scientists successfully transport living matter from their Kyoto research labs to a facility on the Lunar Far Side. The extradimensional region it travels through is dubbed 'F-Space' in honour of Hugo Foscolo. Physics in F-Space work differently than in realspace, allowing matter to travel great distances in a relatively short period of time. Scientists calculate that a spaceship equipped with the ability to enter, traverse and exit F-Space could travel the equivalent of 1 parsec in an Earth week.
