Currently unofficial lore, and in progress.

Nesuv Anomalies

Nesuv Anomalies are a recurring phenomenon of low frequency within the galaxy Avalon resides in. Named after Dr. Nesuv, who first hypothesized their existence based on quantum theories and observational evidence in the year 501, each event involves the spontaneous collapse of spacetime into a wormhole pair. These pairs are usually incredibly unstable, collapsing if a significant amount of matters attempts to pass through, or after a short period of time ranging from < 30 seconds to 1 day. The distance between both wormholes formed is usually relatively short, with a median distance of 500 light-years, though the shortest observed yet had both wormholes positioned only 0.6 light-years apart.

Nesuv wormholes connecting through time as well as space, as is theoretically possible, have yet to be observed. It should be noted that studying the wormholes formed through these events is difficult, however, due to their short lifespan, and the need to transfer a probe through one end to gain information about the other.

It is currently theorized that Nesuv Anomalies are the result of an inherent instability of spacetime within the region of space the galaxy lies in, if not the whole universe.

No (natural) Nesuv Anomalies have yet to be observed outside of interstellar space, though it is unclear if this is simply due to a higher statistical probability of such, or if the frequency of Nesuv Events is somehow affected by gravity. No Nesuv wormhole has yet to form on any established interstellar travel route, and all FTL craft are capable of detecting rogue gravitational wells and issue a warning to the flight crew, due to the much more real threat of rogue planets. As a result, Nesuv Anomalies are not classified as a high-priority threat to space travel.
