The Threshold
Sector ID: 9003 | OL: 5-18 | PvP: No
The gate between entry space and the wider galaxy. The Threshold has a permanent Varath customs checkpoint - technically voluntary, practically mandatory if you want the trade licenses that work at Confluence Station. New pilots who skip the checkpoint save twenty minutes and spend the next three weeks arguing with Varath port authority.
The sector itself is more dangerous than The Drift - the Threshold has pirate traffic, since it's the choke point between new pilots leaving Waygate with their first cargo and the open galaxy. First Scavenger-class pirates appear here.
Key features: Varath customs checkpoint, pirate spawns, trade route nav points.
Primary XP: Combat (pirates), Trade (customs missions, cargo escort).
Mobs: Void Drifters (OL 5-12), Scavenger pirates (OL 8-18). First faction-aligned mobs.
