FasTLiT

==Definition==
The ability for an object to travel faster than the speed of light from point A to point B in a finite time period relative to the distance traveled.
==Development==
FasTLiT (also known as FTL or Faster Than Light), is credited with being discovered by Friedrich Spitzeck, an Austrian physicist and engineer. His discovery is traditionally held to have been January 5th, 2114 during his imprisonment by the Holy State of the Higher Seed and the onset of the Fire Fox Wars. His discovery was not autonomous however, as it occurred while studying an Artellenessan Artifact unearthed in Antarctica.
==History and Application==
FasTLiT was first used by the Holy State of the Higher Seed in their escape from Earth. Once the NEFS got a hold of the technology however, it began its service within the military, initially installed on only on capital ships. By the end of the Scourge Wars many smaller craft such as the RRT Overwatch Carrier were FTL capable, as well as the smallest known craft to carry such a potent force, the System Range Bomber.
==Physics==
The physics involved in Faster Than Light fall under a category known as Proto-Physics. Proto-Physics was the basis of all Artellenessan hyper-technology, and influenced the development of human kind for decades after it became an established, understood field of research.
Proto-Physics involves what many have called the Third Force of nature.
