Jenatris Cloud: Difference between revisions

{{NCETOC}}

The Jenatris Cloud was discovered several hundred years ago by Hanol Jenatris, an astronomer from Alpha Centauri. The Cloud is really a combination of hundreds of small nebulae and odd subspace anomalies concentrated within this area of space for some as yet undiscovered reason. Various types of radiation and subspace friction make the Cloud prone to plasma and ion storms, causing it to be an incredibly dangerous place to be, many times worse than the Badlands area near Bajor. The density of particles present, the radiation, and the storms also make the Cloud virtually impossible to traverse. Sensors will only function up to a couple hundred meters, raising shields is impossible, and communications have a zero range. Warp fields also will not form, so travel within the Cloud is limited to impulse power and thrusters. Thankfully for those wishing to travel through the Cloud, the [[Jenatris Corridor]] (though slightly indirect) does run from the Federation side of the Cloud to the opposite side.
