The tranquil starry sky, spanning nearly thirty light years across two domains of the main air route, the "Smoke Lake" nebula, like an irregular freshwater lake, quietly spreads amidst the distant, cool glow of countless constant stars. Varying in density.
For many years, she, like a gentle veil, has silently existed along the main air route. Diverse ships and their passengers, traveling through this channel, have only to look up after their ships leap from the AR-1871 star system or AR-1841 jump point to see this eternally graceful figure against the horizon.
As one proceeds from Chuckna towards Saleria and enters the AR-1871 star system, only a remote and incomplete half-side of this nebula is visible. But passing the jump point into the AR-1861 star system brings you to her edge. The air route must navigate an obstacle zone that stretches eighty thousand kilometers—merely a small corner, akin to the tip of a fairy's smoky garment.
