The Solerian Rift is a tremendous cloud of volatile gas several parsecs across; since its boundaries are constantly shifting, an exact size reference is impossible to determine. Similar in composition to nebulae, it is considerably larger than is average for this type of phenomenon. In addition, the gases that make up the Rift are extremely unstable, given to generating ionic charges as well as emitting electromagnetic interference and sensor-diffusing particles at a great rate. | The '''Solerian Rift''' is a tremendous cloud of volatile gas several parsecs across; since its boundaries are constantly shifting, an exact size reference is impossible to determine.

The Rift is also the birthplace of thousands of infant stars, which increases the ambient radiation of the cloud immensely. This combination of radiation, and the buildup of ionic charges in the particles of the Rift contribute in the formation of titanic electromagnetic storms that frequently sweep through the Rift. These "lightstorms" - often hundreds of light years in diameter - are capable of swallowing an entire fleet while and leaving behind only miniscule amounts of debris. Obviously, the Rift is an exceedingly dangerous region to travel. | The Rift is also the birthplace of thousands of infant stars, which increases the ambient radiation of the cloud immensely.
