True ISV

A True ISV (interstellar vehicle) is a vehicle that has transited from one star to another without the use of Jell or other non-Newtonian physics. This contrasts a "false" ISV, which is any vehicle that has transited from one star to another while employing the use of Jell, hyperspace, or other non-Newtonian physics. A vast majority of spacecraft fall into the latter category as only the oldest of vessels are True ISV's. The majority of True ISV's were built at Old Terra, Earth, and several other star systems. Most were launched before safe methods of Jell's traversal were discovered. Most are still transiting interstellar void today.

True ISV's were not standardized, with most classes of True ISV consisting only one or two vessels. The most numerous True ISV was the Voyager-class, at 55 vessels launched of 60 planned. It was named after NASA's Voyager program, which consisted of two interstellar scientific probes launched from Earth named Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. The lead ship of the Voyager-class was named Voyager 3 in honor of the original probes. The remaining 54 launched vessels would be named various things—some poetic, some humorous, others mundane. Construction of the remaining five vessels was never completed and thus they were never named.
