Barren Nebulae

The Barren Nebulae are sets of Nebulae in multiple galaxies from which Stone Rings were used to get from one area to another, along with trade and resource allocation later on.
==History==
The Barren Nebulae were first used when the Alkan made them for easier inter-galactic travel. At this point they were used as trade routes and quick ways for travelling. Before-long they were even popular as tourist regions and many more civilisations started using the Stone Rings built at the location for their own needs. An age of prosperity had seemed to come around the local group.
Later on however, the Alkan went to war with the Estin. This war lasted hundreds of millions of years, both contenders being superpowers of civilisations in the local group. By the end of this war the Nebulae had been blown apart along with any planets in the vicinity and the Stone Rings were closed off so that fighting could cease.
However some of the Rings still worked. This is when inter-galactic pirates started to thieve and snatch from many other galaxies and cause trouble everywhere. Another battle commenced: The Thieves battle of the Barren Nebulae. This meant for more destruction, but soon other civilisations found the resources there and took them. 
New civilisations springing up tried to re-work the Stone Rings to get boosts in technology which soon went up in the singularity crisis were many civilisations were overthrown by AI systems that far exceeded their creators intelligence. These AI's disappeared soon after.
After millions of years these defunct portals have been unused and blocked off by a powerful forcefield created by each sides' superpower nation. These portals have since been unused and earned the name of the Barren Nebulae, as there are only the Stone Rings and gas clouds of former planets around the area.
==Location==
There are many locations for the Barren Nebulae, as there is at least one site in each galaxy:
*The Yetnad Grid of Andromeda holds the Barren Nebulae for the Andromeda Galaxy.
*Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm in the Milky Way Galaxy.
