+This guide is intended to provide a detailed reference regarding the various faster-than-light (FTL) methods of getting around in the setting. It is the definitive reference for Faster-Than-Light or FTL travel. It explores each method, explains the mechanics of each form of FTL travel, and provides concepts for each method that can be utilized by [[guide:game_master|Game Masters]] in their respective [[:plots|plots]].
-==== Purpose====
+//Note: FTL devices other than teleportation modules **cannot** be used inside a sun's [[http://orbitsimulator.com/formulas/hillsphere.html|Hill Sphere]].//
-This guide is intended to provide an understanding about the various methods of getting around in the SARP verse. It is the definitive reference for FTL travel. It explores each method, explains the mechanics of that form of travel. It also provides concepts for each method that can be utilized by [[guide:gamemaster]] in their respective plots.
 ==== Scale ====
-Our setting is set in space, and as we all know space is really big. The main map is approximately 240 LY x 240 LY. That is an area over 1,410,870,129,899,618 miles across, or 1.410 Quintillion miles.

+===== FTL Technologies =====
+These are the currently approved forms of faster-than-light travel for use in the setting. Each form has its own benefits and limitations.
