CHORE Flight

Controlled High Orbit Rocket Exit (CHORE) flight is the only means any Seran is able to travel between the habitable continents of Bo-Sera. First accomplished by the Greticans of Nilur, CHORE flight requires a temporary micro-orbit, where an aircraft climbs into an altitude where a controlled descent takes advantage of the gravitational pull of Bo-Sera and is essentially slung toward the landing destination. Achieving these altitudes often requires high powered jets or typical rockets, depending on the passenger or cargo.

CHORE is a misnomer for what is required to travel across the Divides. Before the complete exploration of the Seran terrain was finished, the Greticans had already achieved basic CHORE technology. It was initially able to fully exit the lower levels of the Seran atmosphere, ride a real orbital trajectory, and descend on a controlled flight plan. As the Great Peaks were discovered to be shorter than previously thought, the aircraft were redesigned for flight at approximately 30 miles elevation, enough to pass over the highest known mountains.

Gretican CHORE technology enables relatively comfortable passenger flights with the Haliomantra cruiser, with a passenger limit of 30 individuals, requiring small doses of gravium to ease the thrust necessary to create lift-off. The most modern transport is the GX-552 Domoskip, with a cargo hold of nearly 50,000 cubic feet.

The Rearmesti from Thalume are in late development of CHORE technology. They have successfully launched satellites, proving the ability to fly into sufficient altitudes. Current work is closing on reentry and reliable transportation of cargo and humans.
