 == Shadows from the past ==
 Space holds many mysteries: all spacers learn this, some sooner, some later. Ships take off from a station and are lost without a trace; some are wormholed across the galaxy, or even between galaxies, leaving the pilot stranded; some pass through witchspace in seconds and have aged a thousand years, the ship's crew aged to dust on the consoles.

	And then there are the legends...		And then there are the legends...
		+
		+	There is a legend of ships containing cities, fields, rivers and forests, launched into space in the first flush of mankind's outward urges. Ships that would travel at a snail's space across the light years bearing its fragile cargo to other worlds. Ships that would be so long in flight that hundreds of years would pass between their launching and their planetfall, and that in the intervening time its cargo would have replaced itself dozens of times over, generation succeeding generation succeeding generation, each one accepting the torch of hope, each one keeping the dream alive.
		+
		+	''The generation ships.''
		+
		+	In these enlightened times, of course, no-one believes a word of them.
		+
		+	But sometimes, a grizzled spacer, deep in his cups and trying to forget the image of a Fer-de-Lance bearing down on him or the swarm of Thargoids in that asteroid belt at Oninre, tells a tale of a witch-space jump gone wrong, his engines depositing him in that nowhere place between the dimensions. He will speak of a massive ship, kilometres long, that ignored his hails as it crept along at a snail's pace, its hull battered and scored and blackened by space. And he will speak of a name still visible, just, on that hull.
		+
		+	... Then perhaps another spacer will buy him a drink, and whisper quietly of another ship, another name...
		+
		+	... another shadow from the past...
