Calculating travel time

Wed 02 Feb 2022, 13:48

Hello,

There is a map of the Kua system, which helps visualise this, but for somewhere like Dabaran, the setting for Dark Flowers, there is no map nor planetary descriptions. Should it be taken then that the 2 months of silence from the Shamza is because it takes that long to get out there? So if comms were broken shortly after arrival the best the Foundation/Institute could do was send someone else out there to arrive 2 months later? That's about 60 AU, and about 16 hours of comms delay? So if The Shamza arrived, was in comms but was cut off it would be at least 16 hours+ to establish that something went wrong and sent out a follow up party - at least 51 days for effective response from the Shamza's POV?

The Coriolis Community Atlas has a map of the Dabaran system, with some key locations described. It lists the planet Marfuk as the outermost body at 40AU from the star, the planet Dabaran is 6AU. Assuming that the station is several AU beyond Marfuk's orbit, it places the station 40+AU from Dabaran.
