The 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.
- Citizens in the Imperial Core sometimes refer to the rift as the Great Reft. This is seen as a somewhat outmoded and quaint term.
Description (Specifications)
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
J-5 Trans-rift Hierate Route
A route, the J-5 Trans-rift Hierate Route, a jump bridge, exists across the great rift which requires jump-5 drives to cross without the use of Deep Space Fuel Caches.
- This links the main part of the Aslan Hierate (the Cis-rift Hierate) with their colonies on the other side (the Trans-rift Hierate).
