Pavlet Deep

An astrographical feature, a small rift region in the Crucis Margin Sector.

Named for the nearby Pavlet system, the Deep is a void region on the border between the Syzlin and Taitin subsectors.

Vessels travelling in any direction from Pavlet (or other nearby worlds) can avoid the Deep; thanks to Jump-2 connections along both its coreward and rimward borders, it isn't any real impediment to navigation. The only system actually within the Deep, Aldrikin at Jump-3 distance from any neighbours, is largely worthless.

Given all of this, the decision of the Syzlin Republic to launch across the Deep and annex Aldrikin has simply puzzled other nations.
