Note that the exact borders of the Void have never been precisely defined and are currently "best guess".

Seasoned astrographers continue to squabble over its precise physical dimensions and properties, quoting figures and values relating to the average density of the interstellar medium, emissions from within the region it covers, and a dozen other considerations. Despite years of heated debate a consensus has not yet been reached and different astrographic surveys repeatedly give it different boundaries.

The Void presents a serious obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.

History & Background (Dossier)

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Mains and Clusters of the sector, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds. Jump-2 and Jump-3 feeder routes work their ways around the voids and rift, linking the various clusters and traces.

The Quare 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 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.
