Description

A toll of the bell marks a new journey, and from there on out the lives aboard follow the tact of the ship’s own time. Far from port, it knows neither day or night, but only the cycle of watches and rhythm of machines. The crew will work, sleep, and eat with the cosmic tides, days measured according to the logbook rather than any calendar. In this, they follow age old tradition, of the ancient colonial vessels who would leave behind the calendars of worlds to wich they could never return. Time in deep space, so everyone understands, moves differently than on the Known Worlds.

Day after day, the journey goes on, but the calendar of starfaring folk knows many occasions for celebration. Days of breaching the shroud, and the first lightyear passed, the rounding of worlds, and the success of past landfalls. All such moments are commemorated in celebrations and ceremonies that bind a crew together. On no two ships are these ever entirely the same, but they follow similar patterns of honor and remembrance. Space, after all, is the most dangerous frontier, and the many lives it claimed cannot be forgotten.

Solemn days, joyful days, daring ventures in the void, all are part of the same way of life all starfarers aboard their journeying vessels share.
