A grouping of systems, forming a chain of worlds, all reachable by a Jump-1 capable starship.
- Please see Rift for a related article.
- Please see Astrography and Charted Space for related information.
Description (Specifications)
This grouping provides a sort of “corridor” allowing jump-1 capable ships to travel to any world along the chain without ever exceeding jump-1.
- Usually a Main encompasses 50 or more systems.
- For ease of reference the main may be broken into arms, or branches.
- Smaller groups of systems, between 5 and 50, all reachable by jump-1 are referred to as a trace or cluster.
