	The exact method of creating an artificial [[portal]] into QuasiSpace is primarily known by the Arilou. The interdimensional Orz may also have the knowledge but choose to stay away from Arilou-dominated QuasiSpace. The Arilou mention that the method involves [[Inter-Dimensional Fatigue]], which they caution is extremely dangerous and research into this field should not be attempted by the Human race. The only time that they have created a [[Portal Spawner]] for use by another race is their donation of one to The Captain during the second [[Doctrinal Conflict]], which is subsequently destroyed along with the rest of The Flagship.

			==Background==
	The only Humans to travel extensively in QuasiSpace are [[The Captain]] and his crew, who are given free passage by the Arilou as part of their effort to assist the [[New Alliance of Free Stars]] in their struggle against the [[Ur-Quan Kzer-Za\|Ur-Quan]]. Superficial observations of QuasiSpace show it to be similar to HyperSpace, a four-dimensional space-time in which time passes at the same standard rate as in HyperSpace. Unlike HyperSpace, QuasiSpace is filled with broadband radiation that peaks in the green wavelengths of the visible spectrum rather than the red. Against the green background are sudden bursts and explosions, similar to those observed in HyperSpace but appearing black instead of bright white. It is unknown if the dark and bright bursts of energy in QuasiSpace and HyperSpace are related, but the phenomena in HyperSpace are theorized to be manifestations of objects which are moving quickly between adjacent dimensions.{{ref\|1}} It is interesting to note that the color scheme of QuasiSpace, including these energetic bursts, is nearly the exact complement (according to Human visual perception) of HyperSpace's color scheme.

	In QuasiSpace, [[The Flagship]]'s systems appear to respond exactly as they do in HyperSpace, engaging the engines to thrust through QuasiSpace and being dragged to a halt relative to the QuasiSpatial absolute reference frame when thrust ceases. However, although the starship's engines appear to be firing, The Flagship consumes none of its fuel.
