// Overview
The system ends in dust. A wall of it, standing taller than Cryonix II is wide, running further than anyone has charted, holding a density nobody has explained.
It does what a debris field does. Whatever comes toward the system from outside meets the Wall first, and most of it does not make it through. Neither does anything going the other way.

Ships that have scraped it carry the marks. Hulls stripped down to bare structure on one side, sensor housings taken off flush, plating polished through to nothing. Their crews came back. They are the ones who turned.
What the Wall does to a hull it does at speed, and there is enough of it that speed is not the only problem. Intakes choke. Drives foul. A ship that commits to the crossing loses power before it loses hull, and after that it is carried.
Nothing that has fully committed has come back in any form.
The charts mark the Wall as the outer limit of the system. That is not a survey finding. It is where the surveys stopped.
