Star Lane
Any major interstellar trade or transit route of the Distant Fringe. Star lanes are chains of stars that can be followed by vessels equipped with jump-2 DeVoss drives. They link areas that are economically productive and most see very high volumes of traffic. Security organisations provide commercial escort services to vessels travelling along them. The systems that they pass through are generally thriving and developing.
Star lanes generally circumvent clusters of stars. Most clusters are occupied by interstellar polities and served by efficient jump-1 vessels or subsidised internal trade. Feeder routes carry trade between star clusters and star lanes.
