 Every human schoolchild knows that wormholes are the phenomena which allow the Imperial Combine to control almost three spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy.
Humanity knew that wormholes were mathematically possible long before they travelled to the stars, but it was not until many centuries later that the technology caught up with the maths. In the early days of wormhole travel, voyages to other star systems were inefficient, horrifyingly expensive, and fraught with danger. The main issue with early wormholes was that they were all 'unbound', meaning that although the point of origin was more or less anchored in space, the destination end was free to wander. This meant that a ship travelling through the wormhole would experience increasing turbulence, and even if it survived transit it might not arrive exactly where the crew expected it to. It was not until humanity encountered the Lem Bataan that this problem was solved. |
