The Barren Arm comprises the greater trailing portions of parts of the Scutum-Crux Arm and Sagittarius-Carina Arm of Galaxias. It lies outside of Charted Space and seems to be curiously devoid of almost any type of life.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Barren Arm comprises the greater trailing portion of the Scutum-Crux and Sagittarius-Carina Arms of Galaxias, the Sagittarius-Carina Arm itself an extension of the Sagittarius Arm that has its origin on the opposite side of Galaxias.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The far trailing region of the Scutum-Crux/Centaurus Arm and/or Sagittarius-Carina Arm has been noted on some Scout Service Charts as The Barren Arm with no particular explanations given. Rumor has it that the frequency of occurrence of "life" is much reduced along this region of the arm than has been seen elsewhere that the Scouts have surveyed. Whether that means life in general, or just sapient life, remains unconfirmed.

There are some unconfirmed rumors of a polity or settlement of some sort toward the very end of The Barren Arm of unknown nature or origin.

Astrography[edit]

This region is primarily located in the following area:
Uncharted Space: Trailing portion of the Scutum-Crux and Sagittarius-Carina Arms.
