Quantum Rift
Special PhenomenonHigh Risk
Overview
An unstable fold in quantum spacetime that creates a shortcut between two distant sectors — but the rift's geometry shifts unpredictably. Ships that successfully navigate it cut their transit time by 70%, but a 35% chance of exit deviation means arriving in the wrong sector entirely, and a 5% catastrophic instability chance can scatter a fleet across three sectors simultaneously.

Lore
"Physicists insist quantum rifts are theoretically impossible. The pilots who use them for trade route shortcuts have stopped listening to physicists."
