In the TV Show |
|
Salvor Hardin and Gaal Dornick are male. Eto Demerzel (one of Daneel Olivaw's personas) does not appear in Foundation, but does appear in the prequels, sequels and Robot novels |
Salvor Hardin and Gaal Dornick are female. Eto Demerzel (robot, female) appears as the Emporer's majordomo. |
|
Cleon plays a very minor role in the novel and prequels. |
The Imperial Cleon dynasty is a major subplot involving clones of the original Clean ruling Trantor for over 400 years.
|
|
Starships move away from planetary systems for several days to avoid adverse gravitational influence prior to the jump through hyperspace. Passengers and crew simply sit and wait for the instantaneous jump to happen.
|
Starship passengers are prepared for the jump through hyperspace by being cocooned in webbing and put asleep. The Jump takes place near a planetary system and lasts for a certain period of time. |
|
Except for a small group on Trantor that grow food for a living, there are no Spacers (long-life humans with robot society) living in the Empire anymore as their culture became extinct thousands of years ago. |
Spacers (engineered for space travel) man the ship. They have an inhuman appearance.
|
|
Starships typically land at spaceports on the planet surface; sometimes checking in with orbiting entry stations first.
|
Starships dock with the Starbridge, a space elevator that takes passengers to Trantor's surface. The trip down takes 14 hours. Suicide bombers destroy the space elevator connecting the planet surface to space.
