Point of Interest: Space-time Anomaly

The Kaldi System has been the subject of intensive scientific and pseudo-scientific investigations over the last three years. This has been due to strange anomalies in the local space-time fields. The boundary between normal and jump space appears to be very tenuous -- natural jump-space portals of varying sizes appear spontaneously. The 'holes' usually disappear with seconds though on rare occasions they may linger for several minutes. Due to their random and unpredictable nature, Kaldi has established a series of warning stations close to all regular jump entry and exit points to notify vessels of the potential danger.

History and Background

To date, four vessels -- a cutter, two free traders and a long liner -- have been lost within the system, apparently sucked into rogue jump portals. No information as to their origin or pattern has yet surfaced.

World Starport (Sp)

Kaldi has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
