i like the idea. perhaps one cut between two factions each would be enough. so these are my thoughts (sorry for my bad english)
because the space is divided it would be easiest to split territories and reinsert new pace into the galaxy along the border tear .
possible causes :
a fatal accident in experiments at XYZ weapons leads to a spatially transverse fracture through the galaxy. coincidentally (or just inaccurate) between the warring factions. the area is unstable and dangerous. the old jump-gates (because of the instability in space-and energy flow) now lead to unknown locations in the fluid-space. by scan-able anomalies and mini - worm holes you can move around there, but you'll never know where you land until you have tried it yourself.
to keep the trade between the two sides of the galaxy up, all fractions work on a new transportation technology, and establish trans-warp gates. unfortunately these are still in the test phase and there is a chance that the connection becomes unstable and breaks off. if this happens, you'll land in the fluid-space. trans-warp generators / computer / module can counterbalance this effect under some circumstances and stabilize the channel. but a risk remains .
but the disaster also has something good . adventurer and explorer see new chances to explore unknown regions. they are unstable, dangerous for shields , weapons and drive but they also offer countless riches for the one who is brave enough. the cartography offers the explorer the possibility, to remember explored areas and positions of rich resource points in this space, special places, anomalies to other places etc. to find them again later on, or to sell these information to other pilots for quite some isk. but be aware: the space is fluid . No one knows how long the space is stable, or when it refolds again. your cards and plans may be out of date .
one can discuss whether you can build in these areas stations, if there are planets (newly created/destroyed/... ) , gigantic asteroid - belt with stuff you can loot, salvage or miner, or if there should be entirely new possibilities introduced.
and who knows - maybe the crack in the room also has also opened a split. hole in space to a totally different corner of the universe, older than anything previously known and darker. a connection to the builders was created. and they are anything but nice .. |
