It means you want to push the "now" of Fenspace forward quite a bit...

Quote:The OV-100 in 2064--
One would expect the remaining ships from the original hardtech Shuttle fleet would have been grounded long ago. While OV-104 Atlantis and OV-105 Endeavour have indeed been retired[3] and put on display at the Handwavium Propulsion Laboratory on 2709 Sagan and Stellvia Corporation Headquarters on 704 Interamnia, respectively, OV-103 Discovery remains in service – still flying and still carrying out scientific experiments, but now based out her private hangar on 2579 Spartacus. Discovery was always the hardest-working original Shuttle, and the experts at the Vesta Institute of Handwavium Studies believe her wavejob reinforced her hull along with that part of her history; "Dizzy" shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.
[3] The spaceframes only; their AIs have been moved into OV-500 series ships with the same names.
