Stars of the Rim

The Stars of the Rim is a published astrographic guide detailing a part of the Empty Stars, specifically those areas lying to coreward and spinward of the Distant Fringe.

• The Listing also includes information on Shadow Rifts, clusters of stars, nebulae, anomalous signal sources, and other phenomena.

Description / Specifications

System Details: Although detailed, accurate information is widely available relating to the stars at the heart of each system, relatively limited information is available about the various planetary bodies that orbit them. The presence and numbers of gas giants are known through their effects on their primaries. The cutting-edge sensor arrays and advanced computing power employed by the DSP are certainly sensitive enough to detect the presence of large rocky bodies and even large planetoids lying within those far off systems. Such information, however, has not been made generally available.

There is some speculation over the reasons for this omission. Primarily, it is argued, it discourages casual travel into the Empty Stars. Such travel may chance across Voyagers or the Vilani or other dangers and alert them to the presence of the surviving Terran culture of the Distant Fringe.
