Western barrier

Legends Canon version → Linked from 2 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The western barrier, also known as the western anomalies, the hyperspace tangle, or just the tangle, was a chain of hyperspace anomalies that bisected the galaxy west of the Deep Core and prevented exploration of the Unknown Regions for millennia. It formed the midline of the circumferential hyperspace barrier that enveloped the galaxy in a shell of hyperspace turbulence. Though the barrier was believed to have once spanned the length of the galaxy, it had frayed and decayed over millennia in its gradual retreat back towards the galactic core.
