Cygnus Gap

The Cygnus Gap is a treacherous stretch of space between star systems, notorious for unpredictable gravitational currents and debris fields. Ships passing through must navigate carefully to avoid collisions with half-buried wreckage or sudden spatial distortions. The region appears relatively empty under normal sensors but hides hazardous anomalies that can damage unprepared vessels. Tryst’s route through the Gap suggests a willingness to risk these dangers in pursuit of faster travel or secrecy, as the Empress sustained damage during their transit—a testament to the Gap’s hostility.
