Plotbunny: Any Douglas Adams Fen up for a two-year trip?
 
#5
Probably longer, since they might be stopping along the way to make observations. Because when you can travel faster than light, you can essentially look into
the past by going where the light is about to arrive at.

And with that in mind, the Roughrider's HARDIEs are gonna be planning out a long-term expedition to thoroughly study the supernova, the causes, and
results. It won't happen, though, until they get their hands on their Gagarin-class ships. Mayonaka, since she's the fastest one out of the entire
fleet, will probably be making supply runs to and from.

Slightly off-topic, but has there been much out-of-forum chatter about stuff like breaker-gates lately? I suddenly find myself thinking that having something
like that around to bridge the longer distances rather useful. In this respect our little universe would take on a more Stargate-like scope in that it is very
possible to quickly transit over vast distances of intergalactic scale, but you gotta get there the 'slow' way and plant a gate first.
