: Perhaps you can only fold certain distances? The fleet may have to jump from
: point to point, sort of "skipping" across space instead of just
: jumping the whole thing at once.
: We also know folding has it's limits - somewhere it mentions that it can't be
: done near a gravity well, and Durandal made some modifications to Boomer
: to push that limit, surprising the Pfhor garrison at Lh'owon. This, in
: conjunction with the diagram in the terminal where Durandal gives an ETA
: for the fleet, leads me to think that the fleet folded in to the edge of
: the Lh'owon system and is now making their way at sublight speeds across
: the solar system toward Lh'owon.
Another thing that could account for the time it takes to travel is that it's possible that a "folding drive" or some such device would have to cool down between each jump. That's one thing mentioned in some terminals for Manus Celer Dei (Durandal goes somewhere and has to wait to return because the engines need to cool down).
