One system within Nisor subsector remains officially unexplored as of 5600AD. It lies three parsecs from the [[Distant Fringe proper]], within the [[Moat Rifts]], placing it beyond the range of [[Conventional Pattern Starships|conventional]] vessels. It is likely that governments and organisations know significantly more about it than is made available to the general public.
