The [[~~void~~]], sometimes referred to as the '''~~anomaly~~''' or the '''collapse''', is a round blackness expanding from a collapsed star outwards into the universe.

[[File:SectorMapExample.png|300px|thumb|right|The void as seen in the [[Sector Map]].]]

The '''anomaly''', sometimes referred to as the '''void''' or the '''collapse''', is a round blackness expanding from a collapsed star outwards into the universe.

Opinions on the void seem varied within humanity: some want to understand it and learn to counter it, some want to escape and focus on a nomadic existence, and others believe someone created it and should be brought to justice.

If the void overtakes the player, the game ends.

Each time the player moves a ship or fleet through hyperspace, the void expands at a rate approximately one-quarter the distance traveled by the player's ship or fleet. If the void overtakes the player, the game ends.
