Interstellar Traveller

One of the primary racial traits. Interstellar Traveller races can build enhanced stargates, and unlike other races can transport cargo and colonists through gates.

IT are considered one of the stronger PRTs, and when handicapping races, ITs generally get a (small) positive handicap. They have economic advantages due to their ability to gate colonists and cargo, and military advantages with their ability to gate heavy missile ships and bombers.
