The Breaker
A Jump Shoal region located in Magister Sector.
Details / Specifications
The Breaker is is an irregularly shaped region measuring approximately 7 parsecs coreward-rimward by 9 parsecs spinward-trailing and affecting an area of approximately 20 parsecs. The extensive astrophysical survey programs of the region carried out by the University of Selasia have allowed the indirect detection of the presence of the anomaly. Studies of the region are ongoing, though no definitive conclusions have yet been reached concerning its nature.
The Breaker bears a number of similarities to the Harmal Strange and Unstable Space regions lying within Halcyon and Far Home Sectors. If it shares the same properties as these regions it would likely have the following effects on starships:
- A jump-1 ship will not be able to enter jump space at all in this region; any vessel attempting to do so will suffer drive damage, as well as damage to the physical structure of the vessel.
- A jump-2 capable vessel should be able to enter jump within the shoal, but will only cover one parsec before being dropped back into normal space. Fuel consumption is normal for the drive.
History
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.
