 ===== FTL =====
-FTL is handled through a variety of means the fastest being established wormhole gates. For ships traveling between stars at FTL speeds to unexplored or unconnected locales the setting has a soft cap of 2500c for travel speed for the fastest purpose built cutting edge tech ships in the setting. Most ships will instead travel around 2000c, and civilian grade and more average vessels will travel slower than this.
+FTL is handled through a variety of means the fastest being established wormhole gates. For ships traveling between stars at FTL speeds to unexplored or unconnected locales the setting has a soft cap of 2500c for travel speed for the fastest purpose built cutting edge tech ships in the setting. Most military grade or highly advanced civilian ships will instead travel around 2000c, and the vast majority of civilian grade and vessels belonging to civilizations with less developed FTL technology will travel slower than this.
-  * Short range interstellar (less than 10ly) - Local stellar cluster travel, used for travel within the most immediate galactic neighborhood. These economic jump ships are smaller and slower, but with less range this isn't as much of a problem.
+  * Short range interstellar (less than 10ly) - "Local" stellar cluster travel, used for travel within the most immediate galactic neighborhood. These economic jump ships can be smaller and slower, however due to the low range within which they travel this isn't as much of a problem.
-  * Long range interstellar (greater than 10ly) - Much more substantial distance, requiring larger jumpships, and often a larger price tag for transport. Such jump ships are often high value targets and feature military protection as the price often means they are at least partly government owned.
+  * Long range interstellar (greater than 10ly) - Much more substantial distance, requires larger jumpships, and often comes with a much larger price tag for transport. Such jump ships are often considered high value targets and often feature military protection as the price often means they are at least partly government owned.
-  * Fixed position (wormhole gates, perhaps teleporters, magical gates?) - Point to point transport only. Fast but extremely limited, time-consuming and expensive to set up and maintain. Used mostly on heavily used trade shipping, or for military purposes. Once the two points are linked they are extremely difficult to sever and reattach to other points.
+  * Fixed position (wormhole gates, perhaps teleporters, magical gates?) - Point to point transport only. Allows for instant transit at any distance but is extremely limited, time-consuming and expensive to set up and maintain. Used mostly by star governments who can justify the cost with heavily used trade shipping, or military purposes.
