Skipdrive Design
May 17, 2026
Most sci-fi settings need their FTL drive. The standard one in the Orion Travelers setting is the Skip Drive, which is based on energy/speed models of lightspeed, their equations implications for superlight speed energies, and avoiding the lightspeed barrier by simply skipping over it by re-writing the current speed of the effective matter using infoaction technology.

The Orion Travelers

This is not a standard reading comic.
This is setting information for the Orion Travelers universe.
What is the Orion Travelers universe?
It's a permissive open setting that anyone can create in, given that license rules are followed.
It has a feel inspired by such classics such as Star Trek, Babylon 5, The Orville, Red Dwarf, Farscape, etc.
This comic should be seen less a standard comic and more as a master document for all things that take place in the Orion Travelers universe. This will be a source of lore drops for anything that takes place in the setting, the primary document of canon.
The majority of the lore takes place in the Orion Spur, the region of the Milky Way that includes Earth.
Although I wouldn't call it super-hard Science Fiction, it does aim to be a little bit on the harder end than settings like Trek and Babylon 5 with a bit less technobabble. It'll aim to get a lot closer to the various tropes in science fiction but try to have it make a bit more sense, while still leaving room for all the plots people have come to enjoy from their sci-fi.
This "comic" should be read by anyone wanting to make a story in the Orion Travelers universe, or those who just want to get some backround lore on some other comics various authors and artists have created in the setting.
If you're reading this, you're already approved to make "low canon" content for Orion Travelers. Just follow the license agreement (it will be shown in the first few pages of this "comic"), and you're good to go.
