Paragorn Abyss and the Syrakour Field
From SSDC, Inc.
This geographical feature was originally intended to be located within the Shadow's Rim sector. It can, however, be located wherever the BM needs it for his group and adventure idea.
These areas are largely unexplored, due to the sheer emptiness of these regions. Jumpships travelling through this emptiness have encountered a very unsettling phenomenon nicknamed the "Demon Hand" as the hyperspace jump is suddenly terminated, as if a celestial body would be present - however, there is none. Scattered throughout the field there have to be drifting over 60 wrecks, remains of ships stranded in the void, caught by the Demon Hand.

Plot Hooks
- When the PCs sponsor sends them to find and retrieve a missing ship inside the Abyss, they find out that the "Demon Hand"n is actually a powerful technical device used by a pirate group operating from an ancient battlecruiser inside the Abyss. The device gennerates a gravitational field that will knock ships out of hyperspace, making them an ideal target for pirate attack.
- While the PCs are on board of a ship headed for their next mission, the ship is suddennly knocked out of hyperspace and immediately attacked by Arachnids. Now they know what the Demon Hand is -- but will they live to tell the tale?
