Unexplored Systems
Three systems within Esqua Subsector remain officially unexplored as of 5600AD. These lie four or more parsecs from the Distant Fringe proper, within the Moat Rifts, placing them beyond the range of conventional vessels. It is likely that governments and organisations know significantly more about them than is made available to the general public.
