The Fools Reef is a Jump Reef region lying across the border between Valiance Sector and Stand Sector, within the Where The Stars End region of the Empty Stars.

Details / Specifications[edit]

The Fools Reef is a jumpspace phenomenon existing in the Fools Gate region of Where The Stars End. It has listed dimensions of around 8 parsecs coreward-rimward by about 10 parsecs spinward-trailing and is reckoned to affect an area of more than thirty parsecs. The extensive astrophysical survey programs of the region carried out by the University of Tal Varisa have allowed the indirect detection of the presence of the anonymaly. Studies of the region are ongoing, though no definitive conclusions have yet been reached concerning its nature.

The Fools Reef bears a number of similarities to the Laurent's Reef region in Kalash Sector.

  • If it shares the same described properties as the Laurent's Reef abnormality, any vessels attempting to cross it would experience repeated operational problems with their jump drives and face a significant risk of experiencing a misjump.

History[edit]

The feature was detected by the University of Tal Varisa Deep Sky Program. It became public knowledge following publication of the "Where The Stars End" Astrographic Survey in 5550AD.
