PRIMER REGARDING THE GREAT EXPANSE OTHERWISE KNOWN AS 'THE VOID'
<<NOTE: This is not a comprehensive guide. Travelers should report to the nearest trade hub to learn more about known hazards in areas in which they shall be traveling.>>
Traveling through The Great Expanse (TGE) has been made far easier through the efforts of the Combine's Spatial Astrometer Corps (SAC) as they lay out advisable spacelanes, provide insight to pilots on the types of spatial events they may encounter, and warn travelers of approaching escalating hazard events. Travel outside these spacelanes for the unprepared, or through spatial tempests is not for the casual traveler or fainthearted and will often for the ill-prepared lead to casualty events.
While areas of space may seem empty and peaceful, voyagers of the 'void' should be wary as this area of space is prone to anomalies and rapidly shifting conditions. Even while in what appears to the traveler's perception as calm space, roiling subspace events may still be present and materialize. Gravitational, temporal, and other anomalies, sensor shadows, exotic lifeforms, and rogue eddies may pose danger to the unaware and unprepared. Be aware, when turbulent spatial anomalies appear and continue to increase in intensity, greater spatial events may manifest, and those unaware of the formative signatures may not be aware of what type of event they will face.
While some spatial events remain fixed within their geographic area, and often do not change location or size, other events are more like passing waves. Scientific research has determined that these moving anomalies and fixed anomalies are generally triggered by energy, frequency and vibration of various gravitational and other phenomena in subspace and underspace interacting with each other and that of the normal space barrier.
<<NOTE: Pilots and Captains are advised to pay attention to all updated advisories for their area from SAC Broadcast Stations to understand events they may face, and the intensity of such events.>>
The Expanse or 'Void' consists of disparate regions of space, some empty, others containing anomalies.
Darkspace consists of regions where one can lose sight of even the stars themselves. Some navigation systems may lose their positional fix due to a lack of reference in these regions. Spacefarers are advised to monitor spatial positioning beacons where available so they do not become stranded or lost. Light and spatial reference may penetrate these areas at times, but be distorted, projecting false star positions, leading travelers at times to wander in circles until they perish unless they recognize their situation and take proper actions.
Portions of this space may contain radiation dangerous to the synaptic function of various species' minds. Some are more prone to the effects than others. It has been found that species prone to these effects may enter stasis to avoid being affected. Reported symptoms of entering radiative darkspace range from tingling sensations, vertigo, imbalance, intolerable sensations, and increasing paranoia or sense of being watched. More severe sufferers have reported rapid onset of incapacitation, disorientation, nausea, vomiting, bowel spasm; and resonances in inner organs, such as the heart. While unfortunately, the worst cases, particularly in high radiative areas for some species will lead to rapid synaptic misfiring, loss of bodily control, loss of consciousness, and death if not promptly shielded or placed into proper stasis.
A common feature of the void is a lack of standard space solar systems but it is not void of matter. Expect normal space dust, salvage, debris, gasses, dense nebulas, and other objects. You will find material consistent with debris and clouds that would in other parts of space be considered material to form solar systems or were once solar systems. Do not fall victim to believing this space is completely empty and fall prey to object collision. Keep in mind, some of the more adventurous mining operations operate in the void collecting profitable gas clouds and other wandering elements and exotics from objects such as asteroids and rogue planets. If you run into trouble, most space mining operations will assist in emergencies, but some will only perform additional recovery operations for a fee.
While this space is vast and devoid of solar systems, it's not always devoid of gravitational forces. Gravity will form in some regular areas and others in roving waves permeating like a spring through the Space-Subspace barrier and creating roiling pockets of fluctuation. These fluctuations on the lower spectrum can create sensor shadows and dead zones, unpredictable sensor readings, as well as cause misalignment or failure of engine technology sensitive to gravimetric disturbances.
<<WARNING: Be aware that not all fluctuations will remain constant, and increasing disturbances may signal the approach of a ''flux storm,' it is strongly advised to leave areas with increasing fluctuation activity.>>
While some area intensity of storms come and go, others are more constant and form permanent areas known as a 'Briar Patch.' There are similar areas on somewhat fixed moving routes known as 'Roving Briars,' whereas a third group exists that is far less predictable in their comings and goings and are known as 'Rogue Briars' which may form and dissipate with sometimes only short warning. Briar patches of all kinds are considered highly hazardous to those who do not know how to handle this type of space and should be avoided by the untrained or those piloting less sturdy vessels.
Hidden, scattered throughout the void are the 'fountains' and 'bores.' These features are almost completely unknown by outsiders as they're often hidden deep inside areas of heavy disturbance and varying anomalies of the region. These visual and sensor anomalies have kept them hidden from outsiders. The 'fountains' are white holes that churn out matter from unknown areas of space; while the 'bores' are black holes, sometimes quite difficult to detect until a ship is near or 'on top of them' so to say due to sensor blinding.
