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.

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.
