Dead Space

This page refers to common slang related to the Space Rating Chart.

Overview
While single planets or ships can be given a S.R.C level of red, there are occasions upon which entire sectors of space are struck by catastrophe or controlled by hostile entities. In such a situation the red bubble will expand to encompass a large portion of the map. Many space captains refer to such occurrences as Dead Space, where no-one should travel without proper reason and even then they should be prepared to simply disappear, because there is no hope for rescue. At least from anyone savory, or particularly sane.

Notable Examples

 * Human Confederacy Space (Due to a rogue A.I. in control of several interstellar cannons)
 * Planetary Storm (Due to the presence of Jindari Pirates and charged space debris)
 * The Message
