Heliopause

The Heliopause is the theoretical boundary where a star's solar wind is stopped by the interstellar medium.

• It is an astrographic feature.
• It forms the extreme outer edge of a system, lying within the region dominated by the Oort Clouds.

Description (Specifications)

The Heliopause is very important to vessels using Solar Sails since it represents a border beyond which many lower technology solar sailing ships cannot exceed. In some ways, poets liken Heliopause to the edge of the world for solar sailing ships.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Heliopause represents the symbolic border of an Astrographic Hex as designated by the IISS.
