There is a major problem with long-distance space travel, that is abundance of ionizing radiation, and not of the gentle Hellerium kind, but in the form of high-powered EM rays which wreak havoc in one's cellular structure. This issue is usually mitigated by thick, energized hulls of Star God vessels, but cannot be ignored altogether. We have studied the effects of radiation and devised ways to optimize armor and shield designs to better protect against it.
