Warp Space
Description
Warp Space is an extradimensional space, the full nature of which is not fully understood. It is a chaotic and tumultuous region, filled with raw, and dangerous, energy traversing space eratically, and is inhabited by a wide range of abberrent monsters and demons. Accessible only during the use of one of the Saikar Empire's ancient FTL technologies, the space was not actively mapped or traversed, but it is known that there are planet like bodies that exist in this dimension.
More recently, it has been discovered that small tears in the fabric of reality can sometimes form of their own accord. One theory speculates that it is caused by periods of sudden and erratice Ley Field energy disruptions, specifically high energy fluctuations. These tears have been kept extremely top secret by the S.A.C, with only those highly placed in the Technomancer's Guild, or eye witnesses, knowing of their existence.
To the extent that this space has been experienced by those of the material realm, it has been found to be exclusively hostile to intruders. There is some speculation that early, uninformed experimentation may have caused some denizens of the Warp Space to wind up trapped in the material realm, although no proof has been found, and none of the suspected beings retain the knowledge of that history anymore.
Localized Phenomena
The entirety of warp space is rippling with erratic, physically manifested energy that can be extremely dangerous to non-native inhabitants. There are believed to be some sporadic landmasses throughout, although they don't necessarily take the form of symmetrical planets, but more often appear as floating islands of varying size.
Fauna & Flora
The array of fauna that reside here is barely known, but it is suspected to be the home of demons, as well as most abberations.
History
Warp Space was discovered purely by accident, when ancient Saikar Technomancers began using an experimental FTL technology. The first Technomancer to test the engine arrived on the other side babbling mad, barely comprehensible, talking about how he traversed another universe, full of aberrant horrors. His mind never fully recovered.
Tourism
None but the most daring, foolhardy, or desperate, push their luck with the Warp. In the modern era, the ability to create new Astral Jump engines has been lost, particularly the art to channelling the required amount of energy. The engines that have been uncovered and repaired are guarded closely by the S.A.C. While the Board orders their use regularly in service of the Coalition, those that work on the ships that serve aboard the ships undertake every Jump with a controlled amount of terror.
