Deep Core

The Deep Core is a region of the Galaxy extremely close to the very center of the Galaxy. Because of its proximity to the massive gravity well at the center of the Galaxy, the entire region is hazardous to traverse, and straying from defined hyperspace routes more often than not will result in flying through the mass-shadow of an unexpected celestial body. The curvature of spacetime is more dramatic here than in any other part of the Galaxy, and galactic drift is much more pronounced, causing the movement of planets and systems to be less predictable.
