Talk:Epsilon Indi system

Location
Okay, so I was doing some browsing today at Wikipedia, and found out that Epsilon Indi is a real star system about 11 light years away from Earth. However, according to Contact Harvest, Epsilon Indi is over two months away from Reach via Slipspace. Using the nominal human Slipspace speed of 2.1 light years per day equals approximately 117 light years from Reach. However, Reach is only about ten light years away from Earth, so at absolute best (with Reach and Epsilon Indi being 180 degrees opposite), they can only be roughly 21 light years distant from each other. How do we address this inconsistency? P03 James 02:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd say the "inconsistency" is technological. We had slipspace before the Covenant, but I would like to think that as imperfect as it still is in 2552, we would have improved it from how it was. Slipspace drives in 2525 may have been considerably slower, giving the time distrepancy.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  04:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
