The Longer Void is an astrographic feature lying across four subsectors located within Astron Sector.
- It is a rift area of low stellar density.
- It is a barrier to interstellar travel.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Longer Void is an area of lower stellar density lying within the central-spinward region of Astron Sector.
- Other large rifts in the region include the Hudson Expanse to coreward-trailing and the Astron Voids to rimward-trailing.
What determines an area as a rift is based on Jump Drive performance.
The highest tech level commonly encountered out this Far Along (spinward of the Third Imperium) is TL–12, though a few worlds may be more advanced.
- This level of technology allows the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
- Locally, areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rift regions.
- The nature and borders of a rift may be determined by other criteria in different regions.
The Void is considered to consist of two distinct regions:
- The Longer Void, measuring around 5 parsecs coreward-rimward by around 11 parsecs spinward-trailing.
- The Ingo Void, a separate rift region measuring around 5 parsecs coreward-rimward by around 3 parsecs spinward-trailing.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The Longer Void and the Ingo Void are desolate and lonely places, their dark and empty cores mostly fringed by unpopulated, untamed wilderness systems.
- A few deep-frozen rogue worlds may lie within their boundaries.
The Longer Void prevents routine travel by vessels with less than Jump-5 drives.
- It forms a natural obstacle to travel.
Historical Data[edit]
The two voids were originally charted during the 400s, during the Imperial First Survey.
Timeline[edit]
Significant events involving this astrographic feature include the following:
- ca -1900: The first Human explorers are active in the region (Terrans of the Rule of Man).
- 300-420: The Imperial First Survey charts the region.
- 420: The region is officially named.
- 995-1065: The Second Survey charts the region.
