Basse's Law

Mathematical relationship that governs operation of tachyon vesicles in a stardrive unit.

Basse's Law gives destabilization potential in terms of vessel speed (kpsc/hr), number of tuned antigrav units, and density of interstellar medium.

(N.B. All values are highly approximate. 99+% shatter potential indicates virtual certainty of crystal shatter within first hour of flight; the speed value represents a calculated minimum.)
