According to [[CS-NA]]'s internal encyclopedia, tachyonic ships function by “capturing the natural flow of faster-than-light [[tachyon]] particles (created as a byproduct of the linear passage of time)” with their tachyonic sails. This allowed them to sail onto a “poorly-understood ‘layer’ of time” known as the [[Chronon Sea]], where they can be manually sailed onto the timestreams of individual parallel universes. Because they followed different principles than conventional [[Void Ship]]s, they could sometimes get past barriers meant to stop ordinary Void Ships, in the same sense that mundane boats could pass through no-fly zones with defences in place to stop aeroplanes. | According to [[CS-NA]]'s internal encyclopedia, tachyonic ships function by “capturing the natural flow of faster-than-light [[tachyon]] particles (created as a byproduct of the linear passage of time)” with their tachyonic sails.

When wanting to stay in one place without being blown away by a random tachyon gust, tachyon sailers used [[Conceptual Anchor]]s. | ||
The [[Consistency Imperium]]'s tachyonic sailing ships were remarkably sturdy, able to flip over several times on solid ground without breaking.
