=='''THE KESSLER FIELD'''== To travel faster than light is not a simple undertaking. Although the polyaluminite hull of the ship is indeed capable of protecting the ship during standard space-travel, it is only matter, and cannot protect the ship from the extreme conditions of faster-than-light travel. The distortion of space-time, and the huge gravitational force created by the [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Better-Than-Light_Drive BTL Drive] is enough to reduce the ship and its crew into a pile of atoms. One must always remember the fundamental law that it is impossible for anything in the universe, whether it is matter or energy, to travel faster than 299,792,458 meters per second. <br> <br> In order to overcome all of the obstacles that go along with better-than-light travel, the Kessler field generator was developed for the ship. A Kessler field consists of controlled electrical energy, which has the ability to flow through matter and render it impenetrable by all forms of matter and energy. The electrical energy created by the field in the ship fuses the atomic bonds in the polyaluminite hull, making it impervious to any sort of extreme physical conditions the ship might encounter. Heat and radiation cannot penetrate the field, nor can large objects. <br> <br> The Kessler field is so strong that it protects the ship and its contents from the effects of space-time outside of the ship. Once the ship is protected by the forces of normal space-time, and hence the forces of the universe itself, the speed of light barrier is effectively removed from any matter inside the field. The field would allow time and space to continue normally inside the ship, protecting the contents from distortions associated with near-light travel. To the inhabitants of the ship, time would flow as it always had. <br> <br> The Kessler field is indeed the key element in making the use of [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Better-Than-Light_Drive the Better-Than-Light drive]] possible. It bends the rules of physics, in turn allowing the [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Better-Than-Light_Drive BTL Drive] to bend space. <br> <br> '''''END COMMUNIQUÉ'''''
