Difficult Terrain

Difficult terrain can slow progress during overland journeys but rarely lasts long enough to impact interstellar voyages. Unless it's important how far the group gets in a particular time frame, this can be covered with a quick description of chopping through the vines, trudging through a bog, or piloting through prolonged turbulence or a Drift storm. If the characters are on a deadline, adjust their speed on the Travel Speed table (Travel), typically by cutting it in half if almost all the land is difficult terrain or to one-third for greater difficult terrain.
