The //Crystal Wind// is currently breaching the Inner Oort Cloud on its way to Barnard’s Star. Funded by the Plurality and a small number of private investors, it was built at the Titan shipyards with a unique engine design that required millions of person-hours for construction. A single ticket on the seed-ship costs a small fortune, giving rise to speculation as to the identities of many of the anonymous passengers. Paparazzi and analysts have speculated that the forks of several major inner system ﬁgures are on board, perhaps hoping to establish themselves beyond the reach of Pandora Gates and TITANs.
The //Crystal Wind// is planned to be the third ship to arrive at Barnard’s Star, following a Von Neumann machine and a processor locus ship of ﬁrst-generation infomorph homesteaders in cold storage. The trip is anticipated to take around 800 years, during which all of the passengers will use either simulspace time dilation or hibernation. The passengers are celebrating their ﬁnal few months in civilized space with a prolonged gala, including a long list of socialites and entertainers. As the ship passes beyond 5,000 AU, the over-sized recreation decks will be ejected and the secondary fusion boosters will ignite, pushing the ship beyond effective egocasting range.
