In 185 B.G. Norma Cenva of Rossak began to work on Holtzman's original field equations to find a way to fold space, and in 177 B.G. she successfully invented the theory of space-folding. By 174 B.G. she had built a prototype space-folding ship on Poritrin, but she was soon cast out from the planet by Holtzman and his patron, Lord Niko Bludd. The ship was then used to fold space successfully by Zensunni slaves fleeing a violent rebellion on Poritrin.
Initially, foldspace travel was not completely accurate or safe; only about nine out of every ten heighliners made it to their final destination. Realizing that the spice melange amplified her psychic and calculative abilities, Norma pioneered the use of massive concentrated doses to presciently perceive space/time. In 88 B.G. she discovered that this was the way to safely navigate foldspace, and essentially became the first Navigator. That same year, Norma's son Adrien Venport established the Foldspace Shipping Company.
And the rest is history....................
