Oddly enough, in doing some reading to verify, it brings up an unexpected point. While the Tapani Sector is unusually "cluttered", the way it describes the functioning of the hyperspace beacons bolsters my point in other ways. Stellar drift must be happening awfully fast if a ship has to update its course at every system along its route. This requires thought... |
I've read up on Tapani a lot, and that is not at all the takeaway I got. The point was, most of the rest of the galaxy is not as cluttered Tapani.

Sounds cool. I still prefer my Dune-inspired original nebula in a satellite galaxy, and I have other plans for Tapani. Tapani is the capital of the Southern Empire of my post-RotJ setting. But its limited entry access and insulation does provide a level of security.

As an aside, has anyone explored the utility of using Instinctive Astrogation to side-step the restrictions on hyperspace navigation in the Tapani Sector?
