The cluster had previously been out of reach, due to the 219 light-year gap between '''OUTOTCH SA-U D4-O''' and '''AH CANCRI'''. However, due to a recent discovery of a massive FSD boost via neutron star, what is known as the "Cancri Climb" became possible. M67 does not contain any neutron stars. | The cluster had previously been out of reach, due to the 219 light-year gap between '''OUTOTCH SA-U D4-O''' and '''AH CANCRI'''.

If successful, this would allow any ship with a base jump range of approximately 55 LYs, to neutron jump from Decision to AH Cancri, and thus open up a new route into the once out of reach M67 Star Cluster.''</blockquote><blockquote>''The last message received from the cartographer stated that the jump was successful, and a subspace message containing a schematic system map of the AH Cancri Star system was beamed back to the Mapping Team Listening post, based at the Galileo Space Station in Sol. A short time later, a second message containing information on a star system within the cluster itself, was received - thus showing that the secondary Jumponium jump into M67 itself had been successful.''</blockquote><blockquote>''No more data was received from the region, and the fate of the pilot remains a mystery."''</blockquote><blockquote>'''— Erimus'''</blockquote>In mid January 2017, a fleet of approximately [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXCOBXG8Px4 360 starships] of the Distant Stars Expedition embarked on a treacherous mission to a system dubbed "Elesium," within the M67 Galaxy...
