A NOTE FOR TRAVELLERS

This collection of wonders is but a sample of the many incredible places and experiences to be found across our vast Galaxy. Exploring them is an endeavour reserved for those races with a lifespan in excess of 1000 years, and in possession of the necessary technology. This includes faster-than-light travel, WCDs (Wormhole Creation Drives) or astral projection capabilities. The recently completed Interdimensional Spaceway (“Bridge Across the Stars”) has made travel significantly easier for those with physical forms.

––––––––

The peoples of the various planets in the Loobila Solar Gardens region near the galactic centre can arrange guided tours of some of the locations found in this book, however it should be noted that travel to the dangerous and uncivilised Orion Arm of the Galaxy is not recommended at this time.
