Light Barrier

Introduction
The Light Barrier is a phenomenon that owes its existence to the characteristics of Vita particles and the stream of existence. The uniform concentration of Vita particles throughout the universe forms a "sea" of matter that all other solid matter must drift through. In a sense, the universe is like a vast sea in which all other life forms dwell in.

This sea of particles acts as a barrier preventing regular matter from moving too quickly. The Endymion have since found a way to bypass this barrier and break the light barrier. This has enable the Endymion to perform FTL travel, allowing them to move across the universe in a matter of hours.

Risks and Complications
When approaching lightspeed, the friction between the object and the surrounding space becomes extremely strong. This friction is so strong that the object will begin to burn away similarly to how meteors burn up in a planet's atmosphere. Endymion have proven themselves capable of moving at FTL speeds. However, without some form of protection, such speeds were not viable over a long period of time. The SBAS armor has since solved this problem on an individual scale, allowing Overseers to engage targets at a much greater speed than previously capable.
