but in serenity while traveling long distance serenity passes the reaver ship a rather slow relative speed. could it be that mankind left the earth that was and traveled out into the stars to settle a larger system, terraforming its planets and moons? could einstein be right? no superluminal?

also despite vowing to steer clear of niska in the train job mal and wash get nabbed on the planet that his station (which mal jayne and zoe visited in train job) orbits.

half a planet seems a bit like looking for trouble if the verse spans many systems, i'd think avoiding niskas planet would be more along the lines of steering clear. if its a galaxy of systems i think i'd avoid his whole damn system.

Also, in "Serenity, Part 1" the Alliance officer refers to the Serenity as "rapidding" away from the illegal salvage op, which seems to indicate FTL (but perhaps not?).
