Hawking is a joint hypercorp scientiﬁc venture dedicated to practical research of novel and hypothetical space drives, particularly those involving propulsion via negative energy, negative mass, exploitation of the dynamic Casimir effect, or even inﬂating space-time itself. The facility is large and well-guarded and reputably is home to some of the best theoretical physicists of our time. It’s not entirely clear who is backing the project, though ExoTech’s Morgan Sterling is rumored to be one of the main investors. The facility is already gaining an “Area 51” type of reputation among local [[brinkers]], who speculate about different unusual phenomena and unusual ships they claim to have seen in the area and how it is related to the research.
