Igras Expanse

The Igras Expanse

Dense Matter nebula in the Upward Sector - Union Space since 5018

-

is a unique area of space in the Upward Sector of the Milky Way Galaxy. It covers an area of roughly 14 Cubic light years and was located in Open Space. It contains three star systems.

It is unique as it is the densest matter concentration nebula known in existence. The Igrass Expanse and its dense matter soup was caused by a trans-dimensional rift that was at its center and spewed matter of a different Universe into this universe. (The rift (among with others ) were part of the problems caused by breaking the Rule. The Dark One restored the Rule and closed all rifts.) The Coven occupy a planet that is circling the Rift (the Rift appears so bright as if it was a sun). The Coven guarding the Rift which is called the Gate of Hell. The Coven joined the United Stars after the Host had visited Coven and after the Narth Supreme had visited. The Dark One gave the Coven a new sun to replace the Rift.

No known Space ship can penetrate the Material soup very deep. Any considerable speed would pelt the shields and armor and break it down. No sensors work correctly, not even Seenian Sensors. There are shifting paths that can be traveled by space ships but their pattern is known only to the Pilots of Coven. A society of Scoopers occupied the fringe areas to scoop matter and sell it. After the Igras Expanse became Union (with the Coven joining) A Gigamon Station was placed at the fringes (Coven-Door). Freelance scooping was outlawed. Scoopers must now obtain a scoopers license and remain in designated Scooper Fields. With the new regulations, only a few of the original Scoopers remained, while Union Corporations discovered the value of scooping and set up big Scoop Processing plants around the fringes. The actual Nebula is off limits by the wishes of the Coven and guarded by Specially designed Wolfcraft Fighters ( customized by the Engineers of the New World Commonwealth)
