This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah, the first book is the year 10191 after the founding of the navigators guild. There isn't good (canon) information as to just how far away the founding is from now, but they already had FTL travel by then. The guild just made it safe; they were just raw dogging foldspace before then.
