This sector is one of several anomalies found throughout the galaxy. For reasons unknown, hyperdrives refuse to lock on to the stars in this area of space, effectively making it impassable to deep space travellers. Pilots are thus required to either avoid this area or to plot a course above, below or around it. What may be found within this restricted area remains a mystery for the time being.

The Aronnax Expedition reached the vicinity of the permit-locked Dryman sector on 28th December 3303 and spent a week surveying the region for signs of spacefaring activity, as well as outdoor worlds and systems with all the materials needed for FSD boosting ('green' systems).

An excellent location for a 'Forward Base' was found: Eol Pruae KT-O d7-79 hosts an Earth-like World that is in a trinary configuration with two ringed gas giants which are in a circumbinary orbit about the system's two stars.

The system is green with high abundances of some materials and there are also six worlds here with volcanism and surface temperatures compatible with organic structures. High abundances of Polonium were found to be more common than expected in this region and an unusual number of moons in close but inclined orbits provide some scenery that bodes well for future tourism.
