-Relativistic lag is an effect generated by traveling over vast distances via slipspace and other teleportation methods. The basic principles are that for the being moving at lightspeed or greater, time behaves differently than for beings at normal speeds. It is that a body moving at lightspeed or faster may experience no delay arriving and departing from a location, but while they were in transit, a period of real world time may have progressed.
+{{SeeWikipedia|Speed of light}}
+'''Relativistic lag''' is caused by real-world attempts at faster-than-light. As an object accelerated near and past the speed of light, time appears to slow down. While the object may experience a journey of only a few hours or days, time could have passed in the universe over decades or centuries.
+[[Slipspace]] travel manages to circumvent this. Because the laws of physics in the slipstream  are different, this allows speeds of many times the speed of light without affecting the objects perception of time to the same degree. It is still affected, but rather than decades or centuries it is by hours or days.
