Ikaffruib Veil

The Ikaffruib Veil is a massive spatial anomaly located in the middle rim of the Alpha quadrant of the Alamtheria Galaxy. The Veil is a huge spherical particle horizon with a diameter of 17 light-years. The Horizon appears to be a missive brightly glowing sphere, the sphere glows with equal intensity at all wavelengths and in all radiation spectrums.

The region has been extensively studied though indirect means, however all attempts to explore the region via conventional means has failed. Most Exploration Vessels have been sent into the veil have never returned, the vessels that do return do so without any of living beings aboard, and with all sensor telemetry scrambled. Indirect studies show that the Veil is home to sixteen star systems, and at least thirty planets, the region also appears to be full of intense gravimetric distortions.

Historical records from the nearby societies indicate that the veil did not exist up to sixty thousand years ago, and that the veil was most definitely present after fifty seven thousand years ago

The sensor telemetry vessels and probes return show nothing but static, begging at the exact instant the probe or vessel enters the veil, and ends at the instant it exits. To date all living beings that have entered the veil have disappeared without a trace, the vessels they were in appear to be in the exact condition it was in when it entered. Another of the veils unusual properties is that anyone within two light-years of the Veil will begin to feel paranoid and begin to experience disturbing, but mild hallucinations, and a general feeling of creepiness, these symptoms are believed to be caused by the extreme gravimetric distortions emanating from the veil. These symptoms appear to affect those with telepathic abilities quicker than those without, leading some scientists to believe that the veil may have some physic properties.
