Fiction:The Rift

The Great Barrier Rift, also known as The Barrier and called the Artrus Rift by the Obvia'Atra is a gargantuan spatial rift that separates the great region of the Artrus Territories from the multiverse of the First Gigaquadrant and it's Square counterparts.

The Great Barrier Rift is basically a blank, distorted region of space, with confused laws and constants and so dense that light can barely go through. It this may well be the biggest known to space-faring civilization so far.

Few ships dare venture alone into the Great Barrier, which a "wall" between Artrus and the Gigaquadrants that remained unbroken until the migration of the Ravenrii into the White Galaxies, in the depths of Artrus. It is unknown how such massive numbers were able to traverse the Rift, though old spacers near the rims of teh Gigaquadrant claim to know of secret routes through the darkness that no other eyes have seen.
