Slowly encroaching on the [[Expanse Sector|Expanse]] is the [[Freeworlds Region]], a series of systems on the border of the sector. The [[Freeworlds Region]], which was once the backwards fringe of the sector, has become important because of its position at the end of the [[Jenatris Corridor]]. Because most Expanse [[Par'tha Ores|ore]] must pass through the Freeworlds, there is a lot of bickering about the high tariffs the Freeworlds place on Expanse shipping. | Slowly encroaching on the [[Expanse Sector|Expanse]] is the [[Freeworlds Region]], a series of systems on the border of the sector.

The many fiery red and ice blue tendrils of intergalactic vapor and gas clouds are beautiful and majestic, but they also make the sector a difficult one to navigate through. | ||
Millennia ago, traveling through space was dangerous everywhere because interstellar space is clogged with dangerous debris.

Eventually, navigational sensors and navigational deflectors enabled starships to process data and clear a path for ships through the minutiae. However, some areas of space are so choked with galactic debris and celestial objects that safe space travel is all but impossible. The Par'tha Expanse is so cluttered with debris, stray particles, gases, and such that navigational buoys were constructed to monitor the spacelanes. | ||
The Kaen'anti Bypass seems to remain the only truly stable route through the sector. The rest of the Expanse is less stable and safe routes are guarded by navigational buoys at each system. Interstellar drift causes dangerous obstructions to wander randomly on a regular basis, and the buoys monitor the situation and recalibrate safe routes on the fly. Ships passing a buoy are encouraged to download the updated route data before continuing. | The Kaen'anti Bypass seems to remain the only truly stable route through the sector.
