Means of interstellar travel

Usage examples of starships.

And within days thereafter its Einsteinian mass would reach that fatal point at which errant starships always stretched the skin of the universe into black holes.

Even though starships regularly ported at the Kingdom of Yahweh and His Saints and Their Apostles, none of the shipping companies that made those runs had a BHHEI contract.

The great shipyards beyond the orbit of Uranus fashioned the comet-grown lumber into starships, space stations, habitats, intrasystem linerseverything except the small craft designed for atmospheric reentry.

The five starships grew against the sky with every heartbeat, the harmonies of color and intensity shifting and reordering as parallaxes changed, building complexity on complexity like light poured through prisms of flowing water.

In hours it would do what ordinary starships took a year of acceleration to dobrush the speed of light to within a fraction of one percent.

Sagan was responding to people who claimed to have seen alien starships on Earth and to have met with aliens, prior to First Contact.

As the recording looped back to the beginning, Picard saw Kirk turn away from the screen to look across the conference table at the display cabinet where all the replicas of the starships Enterprise were displayed.

A flurry of subspace static crackled over the viewscreen image, and suddenly, Kirk saw three starships in formation.

The image of the strange starships was replaced by Captain Mantell of the Schr6dinger.

Mantell flashed off the screen again, replaced by an image of the three distorted starships, now in formation at the points of an equilateral triangle.

The image on the viewscreen expanded slowly as the Enterprise moved forward, heading directly for the center of the triangle the starships formed.

They were bound to each other, and to countless uninhabitable worlds, because the Black Gate let starships through into a region where space was twisted like a string, tied into knots so that far became near and time was caught up in the loop.

A false note sounded in the easy words as the starships flashed onto the screen.

Even the starships of the Old Empire, traveling faster than the speed of light, had used this Gate, because they could not cross direct interstellar distances instantaneously.

The din of retro-rockets cuts through the uproar, and six silver starships leave the runway and dis- appear into the morning cloud cover.
