'''The Abyss''' is a northern region of the galaxy, located near the fading point & between the Scutum-Centaurus & the Sagittarius-Carina arms. It stretches roughly 45,000 lightyears across the edge of the Scutum-Centaurus arm, and is over '''2,000 lightyears wide''' in some places. It's considered as one of the most difficult areas to navigate in through the entire galaxy. Even crossing it in a fully optimized, exploration-geared & engineered [[Anaconda]] proves to be a tough challenge.

The Abyss is considered to be the major hazard for all explorers willing to reach [[Beagle Point]], due to its extremely low star density. It is fairly common to see star systems being 40 to 50 lightyears away from one another. Extreme precautions are to be taken when crossing the Abyss, such as manually plotting your route, carefully choosing your waypoints & paying constant attention to your fuel. Running low on fuel, jumping in a system & not being able to jump out can happen very fast, faster than you may think.
