Bleak Divide

The Bleak Divide, sometimes called the Impassable Divide, is a stretch of space in the Milky Way Galaxy in between the Spur Trinity and the Guild Expanse. It is one of two large celestial divides between these regions, located towards the western half of the Spur Trinity, and mirrored by the Great Divide on the other end. The Bleak Divide, though smaller in size compared to the Great Divide, is generally considered impassable territory, as, ever since the Black Crusade, it has been heavily patrolled by the ruthless White Qutixma, who trap passing ships with their Null Obelisks to then promptly destroy and loot them. Likewise, passing the Bleak Divide is virtually impossible for civilizations that do not have extremely advanced FTL systems (such as those that would allow for intergalactic travel).
