 The MagneTrain The MagneTrain is the primary means of transportation around the Chasm chain. At this time, only one of the main loops has been completed, that which runs through the Rockhelm side of Chasm City. For some reason, more inhabited planets reside on this loop than the other.  The ‘Train, as it is called, is electromagnetically floated on a monorail; technology that has been around for a long time. It is run by an interplanetary cartel. On the Windstrom side of Chasm City, the ‘Train loop is incomplete, running only from Cordoba to Earth at this time, and since there is little demand for its completion, the cartel has decided to wait until more planets on that loop have acquired a great enough population to support its continuance. Cordoba, of course, is incensed at this, because that means all of its trade has to go through Chasm City, which charges exorbitant fees.

Sides are extremely steep if not sheer; ends are perpendicular to the surface of the planet. Most are in temperate climes. From outside the canyons, they look like short, unnatural slots in the surface. From inside the Chasm, the canyon appears to continue indefinitely, because each end is connected to the end of the next in the chain. How the Chasm came to be After several hundred years of star flight, humankind had inhabited about 50 worlds aside from Earth, none of them possessing any kind of sentient life (that was recognizable as such, at least) First contact with another intelligent being proved embarrassingly to be also the last contact mankind would have, at least in th...
