Using superstrong crystalline polymers and frictionless bearings, these docking rings have revolutioned the way through ships are launched from a planet into space. When are connected to orbital docking rings, these materials are used to create an "elevator" that almost completely negate the high costs of launch and landing, providing a controlled entry or exit through planet's atmosphere. This technology is licensed also to other houses, being considered a huge step for exploration and commercial exploitation of the systems from all main houses. After the success of their last project, in a secret meeting with the Order of Cincinnatus, the highest ranking board members of [[Valhalla Research]] planning the initiation of a new ambitious project. According with this plan, using the research that was made on [[Valhalla 1]], an artificial structure constructed by the [[Daam-K'Vosh]] and placed in the mountains on [[Planet Manhattan]], the "Project Jump Gate" would be completed in fifty years. The idea it was to create a [[Jump Gate]] that could make it possible a extremely fast travel between two different systems, with amazing benefits in the humanity’s development, limited until then by the time necessary to perform this kind of travel.</span>

[[Houston]] residents from the northern hemisphere have mentioned something about a bright flash, like a meteor streaking across the sky at exactly 15:34 HST and... nothing more. This flash was a small drone leaping across many light years of space, in the blink of an eye. But several weeks later, [[Valhalla Research]] received a telemetry signal from the drone, indicating that it is intact and survived in this the jump. Testing of this "Prototype Jump Gate" was a success and marked the dawning of a new age.</span>

The first trade lane was established through a joint venture between Monument Engineering and [[Valhalla Research]].</span>

The [[Ageira Technologies]] scientists aboard the [[Dallas Research Station]], began the second phase of testing a new, long-range [[Jump Gate|jump gate]], in the hope that will discover a new way to travel in the entire galaxy, beyond the [[Sirius]] Sector, being a unique opportunity for the exploration of new places. Unfortunately, their attempt was a disaster. An unforeseen concentration of dark matter along the jump route created a feedback wave that expelled huge masses of dark matter and radioactivity, destroying the [[Dallas]] and everyone from aboard. A quarantine was immediately erected across half the system but the entire [[Texas]] system was decimated. The [[Jump Gate|jump gate]] itself sank into a monstrous singularity that still hangs at the edge of the [[Texas]]. After this incident, [[Ageira Technologies]] stayed quiet more than 100 years.</span>
