Gates are possible, though you are technically annihilating the original and transferring identity through entanglement. If not annihilated, two copies would exist.

The gate must have traveled to the destination first, and might require a gas giant (or slow crawl nebula) to obtain the base potentials for regenerating the traveler’s matter.

Sub light isn’t so bad, except that We ARE CUT OFF, we’re in the back woods of space. 35,000 lyrs from the core.

In the night sky we can only see stars 1,500 lyrs away.

Only ~50 are within 10 lyrs and none of those suitable for habitation.

Friends, let not our pursuit be to “go somewhere”; let it be to habitate comfortably no matter where we are (and perpetually “in between”.)
