Behind The Scenes

So I just re-read the Antares Dawn and Antares Passage by Michael McCollum and to my dismay I realized my idea of having an event disrupt the transit points between systems. Only in the case of Antares, it is a supernova, and in my universe, it would be the work of a civilization.

Oh, I need to also add Rick Cook’s Limbo System as another influence. He writes about the strife that occurs when an FTL civilization with no data on where to go meets a sub-light civilization with all of the navigational data needed.
