The Lost Patrol
“Each “jump” put Victory near a system’s Laumer-Point, which the vessel promptly used. Bypassing the normal acceleration and deceleration from one distant Laumer-Point to another allowed the starship to quickly travel halfway to the Xerxes System.
These jumps in rapid succession were possible because Star Watch had improved the Baxter-Locke injections against Jump Lag. The new jump medicine meant that Victory could travel faster and with less fatigue dumped onto the crew than before. Maddox ...had grown thoroughly sick of Jump Lag. If nothing else, this trip would be more enjoyable with its near-absence.
Perhaps as critical, several Kai-Kaus techniques helped to negate the worst effects to delicate equipment. Presently, only Victory and several Star Watch battleships had these improved methods. These ships could go through a Laumer-Point or use the star drive with minimized Jump Lag so that man and machine could come out fighting.
Could Star Watch keep these advantages hidden long enough to surprise the New Men with them?MoreLess
