Beyond alchemy and sorcery, the Teleka Plane is also the foundation of one of [[Galaxa]]’s most advanced technologies: the [[Teleka Drive]]. By breaching the lifeforce currents in a controlled manner, ships can anchor themselves to the plane’s flow and ride it beyond the limitations of the [[Median Plane (Galaxa)]]. | |||
This process allows for faster-than-light travel, as vessels move along streams of essence that bypass conventional space. The technique is not without peril: a destabilized drive can cause catastrophic lifeforce drain, leaving crews desiccated or vessels infused with parasitic entities from the plane. | |||
While the [[Divine Parents]] do not forbid Teleka Drives, they are closely monitored. Divine law demands safeguards against reckless use, and entire civilizations have been judged for abusing Teleka technology. | |||
