Major & Minor Line
MAJOR & MINOR Lines are what we use to traverse the Universe.
The Void is the endless abyss where all the dead universes are, but since it is connected to the Source via "Reality, there exists a gray area, a shadow universe which mirrors our own where the laws of time and space are different.
Kyndr Crystals are mysterious crystals that can naturally tap into this Void Space. Taking a Kyndr Crystal and augmenting it with a Starship can allow for the opening and closing of Void Portals in space which can achieve FTL travel. The Crystals are activated and their energy is focused, prompting a portal to open, and to exit the Void Space the reverse is done, the Crystal is deactivated and the vessel is jettisoned from the realm back into our Universe. This device is known as a Void Space Engine, despite the fact it travels along the gray area between the Source & the Void.
You cannot travel with a VSE at any time, you must first locate a safe Line that will allow access to the Void. There are two types of Lines, Major & Minor Lines, let's get into it.
Major Lines are the travel lanes that run the full length of the entire Universe, numbering three in total; Andromeda, Proxima, and Parabellum. These Major Lines "rotate" or realign themselves once every 500 Cycles (years). Minor Lines are Lanes that are far shorter and only usually link a star system or two, additionally they never rotate and will largely remain in their current location for all time.
So then, what's the difference? Major Lines allow you to travel to any location along its route, whilst Minor Lines only allow limited travel to the specific points it connects, usually only two or three at most. You can stop and change directions on a Major Line but on a Minor Line, you are locked into your destination.
So, if Major Lines are so superior, how are they controlled? Via Solar Rail, planetoid-sized structures, three in number, making up a Solar Rail System (SRS). Placed at either end and in the middle, the SRS allows the owning Power to control the Major Line, only allowing authorized vessels to use them.
