Perseus gap

Perseus gap‏‎

Gaps are the regions between the spiral arms of a Spiral arm galaxy. Just as the arms have received name designations, so have the gaps.

The Perseus gap is located in the Upward sector of the M-0 Galaxy and is between the Perseus Arm and the Cygnus Arm.

Approximatley 30, 000 x 5000  x 200 light years  ( 30,000,000,000 Qubic light years)

Compared to the star rich spiral arms these gaps are thinly populated, but there are star, star systems and planet systems.

The Pereseus Gap is considered Union Space in its entire size since about 4500 OTT

The average distance between stars within the spiral arms  is 3-5 LY. The average distance in the gap is 50 -60 light years, There are many stars  in-between the spiral arms,

but they tend to be the dimmer stars (G, K, M-type stars) and their density / distance is much less.

Of the 180, 315 stars of the Perseus gap - 2 % have been surveyed by Union Explorers and additional 14 % have been surveyed by LDP and Cook Balls (28,850 systems)

There are 91 occupied Union Systems in the Perseus Gap. All are Space Bus served.

There are 8 Space Train Hubs within the Perseus Gap - and there is one Hyper Jump Highway
