Distance inconsistencies In the Animorphs Universe.
Distances In the Animorph universe are quite inconsistent. Examples- Although not really that important in the series as most of the events took place on lil'ol Earth, on this site they are far more important. Some examples, Ax stated that the Andalite home world " was 82 light years from Earth", (I have made this 8200.) yet in another book, Ax's Z-space signal "found its way through the galaxys" to the Andalite homeworld. Another example, sometimes it seems that the Hork-Bajir homeworld is in the Milky Way, but the Animorphs had to travel to another galaxy to get too it.

The Iskoort home world was 300 MILLION light years from Earth. The Milky Way is 100,000 lightyears across. (I have moved the Iskoort world too the MW, but on the far side of Andalite space, the Yeerks still would have to get through Andal and possibly Earth to get too them by way of continuous conquest.)

What too do about it
Some of this could be explained by the shifting nature of Z-space. In some cases it could take a year to cross a arm of a galaxy, which may only a few thousand light years across. This could make intergalactic travel quite difficult. The Pegasus Dwarf galaxy which orbits Andromeda is about 3 million light years away, and besides the Canis major dwarf galaxy and meganellic clouds it is one of the closest galaxies to our own Milky Way. I have added technologys that allow for Z-space shifts to be avoided, stoped or even manipulated to the advantage of a traveling species. Also, higher output power sources and higher quality Z-space engines can make travel time alot shorter.
 * Well, in my opinion evrything (exept the iskroot homeworld) is in the MW. Ax just says its in a other galaxy coz it seems so far away. And traveling to the hork-bajir homeworld just seems like traveling to a different galaxy, coz it takes so long.  Sorunome  (Talk|Contributions) 21:20, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
