“Nearly a billion miles ago, in a time between the Global Wars, the force of the electron first set into motion a noble group of transporters

They raced along guideways that united the great centers of the Western World. Each could ferry more than a thousand people at a time with speed and sureness.

With their modern style, they unified the present and the future. Triumphant over space and time each of this celebrated class of cruisers was called: GG1: An American Classic.”
