Either put in meta concepts, general, or start a new one for stuff that is out side the sector but pertinent to Anargo (frost bringers fall into that category I believe)

I didn't particularly want to start yet another board, but it's probably the best thing to do. Hmmn...

Well we already have the frost bringers, and now sanctuary, plus CELS is working on some ork worlds so they will need a place to go, so I think there will be plenty to go in it, and it might be a good place to discuss the worlds of the various other races of Anargo which inhabit wild space.

"Beyond Anargo"?
Will we also have a section for discussing the neighboring sectors? Or does that fit into General Discussion/Meta-Concepts?

We will at least need one new forum, I agree. Not only because of the Sanctuary and the Frost Bringer's homeworld, but because there are half a dozen alien systems in the sector, at least, and because we should open the possibility for human / Imperial in intersector space. Surely the original colonists in the Age of Technology must have landed here and there? Kage posted the following quote I think some of the names suggested above would be appropriate for the new forum. I leave it to Kage to choose between Intersector, Wilderness zone and Frontier space

Just curious: If the sanctuary is linked to via a stable warp route (that doesn’t need navigators) what’s stopping the Inquisition from finding it? Well they may not be able to find sanctuary if the path to it is not always there. What if the "stable warp route" to sanctuary is opened or coincides with the pendulum tide? Maybe it is a strong current that is pulled up from the deeper warp into the near warp by the pendulum tide as it swings into the Anargo Sector. As the tide flows back out, it again sinks into the deep warp...making it in accessable to ships without geller fields or to calculated jumps. The current not only wells up into the near warp due to the pendulum tide, it also changes position...sort of having a slack piece of cord in your hand and then pulling it taught. The displacement of the current (or when it is pulled taught by welling up into the near warp) also brings it in closer proximity to Sanctuary, allowing it to serve as a direct path to the system. Of course this means dusting off the concept of the Pendulum Tide and defining how it actually works....but otherwise, how does this sound?

I've been giving this concept futher thought. Even if the stable pathway to the system occurred only at certain times, the Inqusition could still wait for the opportunity to arise and go through the gateway. They could then recon the system and plan an attack.
I think I might have a way around this. what if the gateway is only one way...or at least the stable current flows only one way. You are able to make it to sanctuary on the stable path, but returning to Anargo is another matter entirely.
If you do not have a navigator that can navigate against the current, then your are relegated to the long path around (jumping from system to system to return to Anargo). Since many of these systems will be in wild space where the Imperium does not have jurestiction

Hmmn... It seems to have been missed, so I'll just state it again: The 'stable warp pathway' idea is defunct.And, believe it or not, the Inquisition has slightly better things to do then wait around for the the tides of the warp. Hell, otherwise that would be an even greater death knell for pirates. You see, the thing about space is that it is big...

Well it may be defunct for the purposes of your original concept, but would you mind if I perhaps use this elsewhere?

Oh... Ahem. No, not at all. 'Stable' warp pathways are a part of what I would consider the 'structure' of the warp and something that needs to be consistently dealt with within the context of the warp and pseudo-science... (He hastily, and tongue-in-cheek, adds...)
