Great Rift is a broad expanse of space with a very low density of stars (void) lying spinward of the main region of the Third Imperium. The Great Rift is a pronounced impediment to interstellar travel, and it constrains jumps through Corridor sector to the Spinward Marches. q.v. Lesser Rift
The Great Rift is one of many astrographic terrain features which have provided long-term security for the Third Imperium. By its very nature, the Great Rift has made outside incursions difficult, which has made the interior of the Imperium a secure population center.
A route exists across the great rift which requires jump-5 drives to cross. This links the Aslan Hierate with their colonies on the other side.
