This means that White Star Lines has been able to smuggle conveyors to Covorite's moon. This has allowed the set up of a moonbase at the South Pole of the Moon on Homeline.
This is one of those timelines where the implications rapidly become insane the moment you let someone with a basic knowledge of physics know the assumptions. I mean, just within the timeline, you have perpetual motion machines and planet-killer weapons. Then, once out-timers finally manage to acquire an antigravity ship and install a conveyor, you can putter around any accessible solar system at whim. And build those planet-killer weapons.

Do not use this timeline in a game with any players who take science half-seriously. Because they will abuse it, in one sense or another.
