PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: The Universe
  • Affiliation: All Beings
  • Market Status: Open-Market
  • Model: Luminiferous Aether
  • Modularity: No
  • Production: Mass-Produced
  • Material: Unkown
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Permeates the entire universe, even in the void of space.
  • Cancels-out some of the known effects of relatively, such as time-dilation near black hole clusters.
  • Can be used by modern ships to produce drag when in flight, via an etheric rudder.
STRENGTHS
  • A medium for steering — Gives ships a means of which can be used to increase maneuverability in the void of space.
WEAKNESSES
  • Restrictive — prevents ships from achieving unlimited velocities in space, resulting in a “top speed” if you will.
DESCRIPTION
The luminiferous aether is a substance that fills the void of all time and space. Much in the same way that sound travels through fluids such as air and water, light uses the luminiferous aether to travel through space. Not everything is known about this substance, but a few features are known. Research on this field is often inconclusive, or results tend to get lost in time throughout galactic history.

What is known about the luminiferous aether is considered commonplace knowledge to even the humblest of beings in the galaxy, and treated as matter-of-fact. It prevents time-dilation when an object is near a cluster of black holes, and it is exploited to create useful drag for controlling the flight of starships. This method of flight control is achieved through the aid of etheric rudder technology. For facilities that dwell within black hole clusters such as the maw, it is a known fact that without the aid of the luminiferous aether, these facilities would be lost in relativity. Other than that, research on this field of study is rather lacking with any quantifiable progress.
