STAR NOVA
Faster than light
The newly designed teleport machines being built under the direction G.E.T. program scientists and engineers contained an exponential amplifier of the light speed converter used by the standard teleport machines already in use by the Orions in their everyday life. These machines were used to transport goods and supplies and whatever raw materials were needed anywhere in the world. Transports could be done from any land based transport machine to another land based machine or to air and underwater based machines. These were low powered short range type of transport machine and could only transport inanimate objects. Outside the few failures during its early development, it had never been used for the transport of humans. This had to change if they were going to save the inhabitants Orions. The Ruling Governments had decided to build a facility in the Noovlu Islands to work on correcting the problems of human transport. It took a lot of hard work by many of the greatest scientist from all over the world, but the solution had been found, and now they had to build a power source powerful enough to transport over the greatest distance ever attempted, ninety million light years, to the other side of the Sapphire galaxy. They originally started by testing the machines ability to transport to the nearest moon of Orion and then to the next and the next until they had reached the seventh moon. A trip that had taken eight days, by spacecraft only a few short years ago, could now be done in a matter of seconds. The next goal for the scientist was to transport to Calto. If they could do this it would give them a strategic advantage in the war. Continuing with the expansion of the G.E.T. program, over the next few months they developed this technology. By refining the Mellium to an even more pure form they increased its power output tenfold and built a site powerful enough to make the transport to Calto and beyond. The limit of this new capability had not been tested so no one knew for sure just how far this new teleport device could reach. The time to travel to the seventh moon had been tested and was nearly instantaneous.
Recently the Caltonians discovered this technology existed they were determined to have it for themselves. Until this point the Caltonians had not taken an interest in the teleportation machines since they had limited capabilities. Now that the machines were more powerful, the Caltonians wanted them for their own uses. They increased the number of troops on Orion by one thousand percent in hopes of stealing the G.E.T. technology for themselves.
The Noovlu Islands proved to be the perfect hiding place for the project. The Caltonians had not bothered to invade that part of the planet because they did not want to waste valuable time hopping from island to island, killing only a few Orions at a time. The Caltonians were about mass destruction and fear, little islands could be taken care of later; they were no threat.
Nearly two cycles earlier the Orion scientists had discovered a solar system on the far side of the Milky Way/Sapphire galaxy, nearly 90 million light years away. Of all the solar systems that had been discovered this one looked as though it had the prerequisites to sustain life as the Orions had come to know and love. This solar system, b297, had at least 8 planets orbiting a giant sun, and possibly as many as ten. Plans were put in motion to develop the technology to complete a trip to this potentially new home planet.
The battle with the Caltonians had been raging for nearly half a cycle when the Orions started the G.E.T. program nearly one and half cycles ago. The scientists had been studying this new solar system for nearly the same 2 cycles. The discovery of this solar system had happened just before the Caltonians had decided to attack and invade Orion. At first there was just genuine excitement at the possibility of even more life in the same galaxy. Then as the war progressed and the planet began to show signs of uncorrectable devastation this new solar system was looked upon as a new home far from the savagery of the Caltonians. The Orion scientists were in the process of discovering other wondrous new worlds and galaxies that had never before been seen before the attack. Scientist and government officials from all over the world were excited at all the possibilities that were before them in the vastness of all that space. They had just begun to explore these new wonders when the Caltonians attacked.
