'''TrueSpace''' refers to ordinary space-time, the dimension in which, as far as we know, all sentient life developed, and is used to contrast ordinary space-time with the exotic dimensions of [[HyperSpace]], [[QuasiSpace]] and the theorized origin dimension of the [[Orz]] ("[[below]]"), as well as the mysterious "[[PrettySpace]]" and the little-understood "spirit world" with which the [[Pkunk]] are able to communicate. The Orz seem to emphasize this contrast, referring to TrueSpace as "heavy space." TrueSpace encompasses the three traditional spatial dimensions and a fourth time dimension (and possibly other compact dimensions), and contains the complex atomic structures of matter that form ordinary chemical substances; this complex, material structure appears to be absent in HyperSpace and QuasiSpace. The dimension is expansive; stars and galaxies within TrueSpace form tiny islands in a mostly empty, cold vacuum, whereas in HyperSpace and QuasiSpace the vast swathes of emptiness that make up most of TrueSpace appear to be strongly compressed. Because of this, travel through TrueSpace is strongly limited by relativity and the speed-of-light barrier; relativistic effects make it impossible to, for instance, establish any absolute time scale for TrueSpace chronology for a space larger than a single star system. Hence, HyperSpace-based astronomy, astro-navigation and chronology have overtaken TrueSpace-based systems for all purposes among the starfaring races.
