Deadspace is an astrographic phenomenon curiously found throughout Gateway Domain.
- No one knows why it occurs although the effects are quite noticeable.
Description (Specifications)
- Effect of deadspace
- Causes a starship in jump space to be "precipitated" out at the point of contact with deadspace.
- If a jump is attempted in deadspace, the result is similar to attempting a jump from within a large gravity well. It would be akin to jumping from deep within a large gas giant's atmosphere.
- Ships with gravetic maneuver drives may experience erratic acceleration and course changes while in deadspace.
- The size and duration of a pocket of deadspace varies.
- Size is dependent on both the number of gravitational waves converging and the distance from the mass of the source(s).
- Location varies with the relative movement of sources.
- A ship caught in deadspace may experience problems associated with it for a period of time varying from minutes to weeks, and in rare cases, possibly years.
