Rinean Shoal

A region of space in the Great Rift, within the Hkao Subsector of Afawahisa Sector.

Several parsecs across, the Rinean Shoal is a place where jump space is unusually difficult to enter. The reasons for this are not known but jump capabilities seem to be diminished over the entire shoal. A jump-1 capable ship cannot enter jump space at all here, and attempting to do so it will suffer damage to its drives and possibly structural distortion. A jump-2 capable vessel can enter jump but only jump one parsec before being dropped back into normal space. Higher jump ships also suffer reduced range.

In the central shoal region is a star system which has rarely been visited and is, understandably perhaps, omitted from most charts. According to rumour, this is a multiple-star system with more than one habitable world, but no formal survey results have been recorded.
