J-5 Trans-Rift Hierate Route

The J-5 Trans-Rift Hierate Route is a J-5 to 6 route that crosses the Great Rift from trailing Verge sector to the Aslan Hierate in the Riftspan Reaches Sector.

• It is also sometimes referred to as the Verge Connector, or the Great Rift Crossing.‎‎

Description (Specifications)

The J-5 Trans-Rift Hierate Route is a minor trade route, though an important courier route between the Aslan Hierate and the Third Imperium.

History & Background (Dossier)

In -1044, the Aslan explorer Ktouwaatritoikh discovered the route across Great Rift.

• In Antebellum times, the Verge Connector was a minor trade route, though an important courier route between the Third Imperium and the Hierate. The Connector is now infamous for being the conduit that brought Virus into the Aslan Hierate. Because of the short lag time with which Virus reached it, the Hierate had no advanced warning, and its most heavily populated trailing regions were quickly annihilated. The Connector has remained a common means for Vampire Fleet deployment between the hot zone of the Imperial Core, and regions to spinward of the Great Rift, and it has been fortified by a mixture of Aslan and Regency forces since the Collapse.
