Grand Interdictor Engine

Alongside the planet itself, the Grand Interdictor Engine may be the most visible sign of Vereenigde's advancement.

Though referred to as a single entity, the Engine is in fact thousands of linked satellites spread throughout the Guilder system. Though the exact process is unknown these units alter the metaspatial conditions around the system's edge, scrambling extra-dimensional travel from Veerenigde to other systems. Even if there are systems to the galactic south of Guilder, and an enterprising pilot could find a chart to them, the engine prevents any such travel there.

Though the government of Vereenigde denies any control over the engine, it is notable that the route to and from Tocqueville ( and the main trading route to the rest of the system) is open and stable, and that raiding fleets from the Goggo Reach seem to be able to slip through to cause havoc in inhabited space...
