Where The Stars End is a region of space lying about 500–800 parsecs rimward-trailing of Terra.

  • It is a huge region of Wildspace.
  • The DSP Listing provides extensive data about its stars and worlds.

Metadata[edit]

Where The Stars End is part of a vast tract of largely unexplored space called the Empty Stars.

It lies to coreward of the Distant Fringe and to trailing of the Infinitys Shore region. It was initially surveyed and named around 2255AD by humans fleeing the destruction of Terra at the hands of the Vilani Imperium.

The Phanic Group, a large cluster of stars within its central region, is believed to be the current location of the Voyagers, gigantic space-dwelling geovores that ravaged the Distant Fringe a millennia ago.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Where The Stars End region is made up of huge clusters of stars and broad Shadow Rifts.

  • It covers 32 sectors and contains 5496 separate star systems.
