The Event Horizon may have failed as a concept but the research that led to the design of the vessel would lead to a whole new line of science when it came to faster-than-light travel. The Forced Displacement Drive (FDD), first debuted in the late 21st century was tested extensively and eventually proved that a functional Faster-than-light drive could work. The commercial applications were immediately readily apparent once it was shown to be safe. Worlds that had been surveyed remotely but were years away using conventional Ion Engines were now within a few months travel.
The science of suspended animation had been perfected in the mid 2030’s (after sabotage on a Mars bound freighter necessitated active testing of a prototype, which when the crew were recovered some months later, they had indeed survived). Even with the new FDD technology it quickly became standard practice for crews to go into hypersleep (the popular term for the process) for the duration of the journey to minimise usage of environmental resources. The ships computer could wake the crew or in an increasing number of cases a Synthetic would also watch over the ship during its voyage.
Constantly updated and improved throughout the years, in 2132, to travel 38 Lightyears (or 3.595e+14 kilometres) would have taken a midsize Starship around 10 months, by 2180, it would take only three weeks.
