Sundala Starzone Setting Mechanics

Fixed Position FTL 'The Gates'

Marii Translight Gate System
- All gates are linked to the same bulk space so one can enter and exit anywhere in the system, gates are also 'closer' on the bulkspace side of the gates and thus ships have faster travel time.
- Created by the Marii Race hundreds of millions of years ago.
Kylev-Muldoon Gate System
- Kylev-Muldoon Gates are all 'paired' systems with an entry point and exit point and do not share bulkspace with other KM Gates. Thus a ship must exit at each system along the network slowing travel times.
- Created by humanity as a rough attempt at our own point to point FTL gate system.

The gates link to bulk space 'tunnels' within an isolated higher pocket dimension.
Gates essentially encapsulate ships in a bubble of normal dimensional space and dispatch it toward the receiving gate they signaled for.
Due to the far shorter distances between the gates from within the bulk space travel time which would take normal FTL methods days can be done in hours.
Ships within bulkspace are isolated in their own pockets of normal dimensional space and cannot interact with other vessels transiting within the bulk.
