The Quare Void is an area of lower stellar density.
- It is a rift and an astrographic feature.
Description (Specifications)
A region of lower stellar density lying within the Spinward Marches.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
History & Background (Dossier)
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the clusters and traces of the region, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds. Jump-2 and Jump-3 feeder routes work their ways around the rifts and voids, linking the various clusters and traces.
The Strouden Void contains no stars or stellar scale bodies.
- It is likely to contain a number of dark, frozen, starless rogue worlds and wandering icy planetoids within its depths, but none have ever been officially charted or catalogued.
Jump Bridges
Some have suggested that one or more Jump Bridges may lie within the Strouden Void.
Jump Bridges are locations within empty hexes that contain caches of fuel and supplies. They allow lower jump rating vessels to bridge gaps between distant worlds by providing a halfway point. The hexes these caches lie within are truly vast, and without exact coordinates to jump to within it a vessel could end up with empty tanks in empty wilderness, perhaps light-years away from any hope of rescue. Where they do exist, Jump Bridges are heavily guarded and access is not generally granted to those without the correct credentials.
- No commercial jump bridges are known to exist within the rift.
Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)
This astrographic feature is primarily found in the following areas:
