    About this ebook

    From the travel brochure: Coalition GOLD STAR Phasing Pass: For a year like no other! Go wherever you wish, as often as you wish, provided each trip leaves you further from Sol-3 Terminus. To start your return, reach the boundary beacon at 1460 light-years or make a trip that brings you closer to Earth. Alternatively, simply wait until the start of the eleventh month, and the direction will automatically reverse, giving you 30 solar days to make your way back. What will you do on your Grand Tour? Drift down a Martian canal at Colony 5? Shear spider-sheep on a working Teegarden ranch? Pause to reflect on the Big Bad empire and the AI wars at the Cetan Heritage Museum? Hike through jungle ruins on Kepler 186f? Go abseiling in the abandoned cave towns on Kepler 62e? A lifetime of memories await!* *Terms and conditions apply. Contact us for details. Prices and availability of phasing lines are subject to change without notice. All planetside activities must be arranged in advance and paid for separately. The traveler is responsible for ensuring the validity of all visitation papers and entry permits. AI travelers must show proof of full backup prior to departure. Wetware travelers must purchase comprehensive travel insurance from an approved vendor. Not responsible for lost or stolen luggage. Check with us for weight restrictions and a list of prohibited items. Force majeure limitations apply to all transactions. Thank you for your patronage!
