The YT-2000 Paradox lifted off from Cho'val Spaceport and into the warm morning air. Rank had its privileges, and when your ship was registered to a senior member of the Beyalle organization you received an incredible level of service from Departure Control.

Traffic was picking up at the spaceport as transports held in orbit overnight for noise abatement regulations now clogged the port master's screen as they jostled to be first to make landfall.

The Paradox left Kaal orbit and made good speed towards the outbound jump zone and was given clearance to exit the system ahead of three other ships in the que. With a last word of farewell to Departure Control she lept into the swirling void of hyperspace with a brief wink of the stafield.
