Slipspace

Slipspace what in-between the entrance and exit of a wormhole is known as. It's a dangerous place due to Temporal Delays. Slipspace is not another dimension, its like the back road around space (bypassing all planets, stars and debris). There have been people and entire Starships lost withing Slipspace, the Temporal delays causing slip insanity and the lost to become hostile towards everyone and everything. Slip insanity is caused by prolonged exposure to Slipspace and Temporal delays and means the insane can tell the future as they can feel and hear the future and present at the same time

Temporal Delays
When in Slipspace, objects experience a phenomenon known as ''Temporal Delays. ''These delays are when senses happen before the action (eg. you feel your arm move before you actually move it). Temporal delays become longer the further through the wormhole you are as your brain and body find it harder to handle the real speeds they are moving. In reality, the Temporal delays are a special form of time dilation due to the fact that, although the ships aren't physically moving faster than the speed of light, the streams of Slipspace pull the ships along causing them to move at approximately 2.4 x 108 ms-1.

Slipspace Distances
Slipspace is used to get from place to place within extremely small time-frames (for instance, Sol to Alpha Centauri in 5.3 seconds) and is how Arskodian ships get to battles almost instantly. A trip of more than 10,000 light years, from Neo-Terra to Terra, only takes 3 weeks through Slipspace.
