Chapter 28
This chapter presents a detailed table outlining the relative speeds and distances across multiple hyperspace layers, comparing them to normal space (Layer 0). It explains how moving to higher hyperspace layers reduces the speed of light and relative distances, making travel and communication more efficient at certain layers, such as ship travel at Layer 10 and high-speed communication networks at Layer 15. The chapter emphasizes the exponential scaling of speed and distance factors as one ascends through hyperspace layers.
