Example : Acorn is traveling between the from Persephone to Rosetta. Acorn has a Speed Class of 4 when cruising. Rosetta is in a Border system while Persephone is on the edge of the Core. First, she must move from the Core to the Border. After consulting the table, Mad rolls a d12 and gets a 8. Then, Rosetta is the ninth world from the edge of its system. So Mad consults the table again and rolls a d12 nine times: once for each world. She first gets a total of 54. So it takes the crew a total of 62 days to get to Rosetta from Persephone.
