Transmatter Tunnels – First Concept

– First Concept

 The idea of portals to travel and to bridge distances is an old one and has been done many times in Sci Fi.

When I started to write the GC series, I did not pay as much attention to Gates as I rather had space ships, but after using math and calculating the speed of Star Trek Ships I realized how long they would need to travel and just how big the Galaxy actually was. I wanted to give the feeling that the Galaxy was big, but that the Union did have technology to connect to even the most remote outpost at a reasonable time.

This is why I introduced Space Trains, Space Buses and more recently Hyper Jump Highways and Trans Matter Tunnels.

Here is a page of Note paper I wrote to line out the TMT tech a few years ago.
