Khazard's Folly

Khazard's Folly is a region of MEST in the Milky Way Galaxy. Local to this system, space-time acts as a complete anomaly and does not respond to measurement by any standard instrumentation technology. Therefore, very little hard data is known about the region. Throughout all eras in which it is known, it is considered by spacers to be a suicide mission to travel anywhere within a several hundred AU radius of it's mapped geography. 
Because of the complete absence of civilization, some spacers fleeing the law or reach of one of the many space faring civilizations have been known to hide near Khazard's Folly. The 
== Discovery ==
The region was discovered by Alphaeus Khazard, a Great Exploration era spacer and professional explorator financed by the Second Dominion. During his eighty year life (a relatively young age for Second Dominion peoples) he traveled billions of AU throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. 
He discovered the region sometime in the Great Exploration and was able to successfully map the region and transmit the data, where it was received many light years away by other Second Dominion spacers. 
Neither his ship nor his body was ever discovered. It is generally accepted that he either unintentionally or purposefully drifted too closely to the center of the region and succumbed to intense Hawking Radiation. 
== Known Features ==
The jagged area of the region covers several lightyears across from its furthest point and less than .1 lightyear across at its narrowest. Near the center of the area, massive objects equivalent to several thousand black holes with overlapping event horizons exist. It is hypothesized the interaction of these black holes with each other and MEST is the origin of the anomaly. The black holes are collectively the largest source of Hawking Radiation emission in the known universe.Category:Third Trilogy
