Spacial Phenomenon

Within the setting are strange and exotic events - both witnessed first hand and recorded with the use of quantum telescopes. Some are noted here, including their suspected causes and effects.

• Entropic Sinkhole - Events where the order of things is unusually high or low in ways conventionally non-predictable. Believed to be caused by m-brane penetration caused by interaction with another universe and the extraction of energy from space - either leaking or sucked out into the void. In these locations, zero point energy sources do not function predictably or reliably.
• Maelstrom - Areas with such highly disrupted 'choppy' space that any attempt to cross using faster-than-light travel techniques results in an object falling out of FTL, often catastrophically - creating un-crossable 'deadzones'. Primarily a natural phenomena, research is underway into the creation of artificial maelstrom.
• White Expanse - Spanning almost 20 lightyears, the white expanse is a large nebulae where conventional rules of spacetime seemingly dissolve and space itself becomes unstable. Very little is known about it.
• Red Tide - So named because of redshift phenomena: Distorted space where the velocity and angle of light is altered passing through it. Can render telescopic readings, charting techniques and communications unreliable or even unusable.
• Brinicle - Occurring in areas with extremely low entropy, brinicle are dimensional shadows of electromagnetism, allowing light in limited form and accuracy to cross between different dimensions.
