Notes

Dangers: The belt is uncharted by any Core body. Pilots fly it on instinct and on whatever the prior pilot told them., A Drift Logistics hauler once used the wake as cover. The hauler was found later, empty, course unchanged, with every interior surface dusted in a fine black powder that smelled of nothing., Whatever the Akraan left here is not in the same state the Akraan left it in.

Hooks: A salvage team reported pulling a worked-metal shard out of a chunk of basalt. The shard was not on any manifest. The team sold it. The buyer was a Helix archivist who paid in unmarked rek., Three different prospector crews have charted the wake. None of their charts agree on its shape. They were looking at the same belt, on the same day., An Akraan-shaped metalwork was photographed tumbling in the outer wake, tumbling very slowly, in the same direction, for as long as anyone has watched.

Lore: The Akravesh Wake looks like debris; it behaves like a trail. Prospectors argue whether it is a debris field, an architectural remnant, or the visible edge of something the survey never mapped. The argument is unresolved. The pilots who fly through it keep their own charts and do not share them.

Notable: A sparse rocky belt strung along the planet's orbital plane, dense with shards of worked metal that did not fall naturally. Surveyors call it the wake. They do not know what is waking., A central corridor through the belt, never charted but reported by every pilot who has flown it, where the rocks thin out and the gravity steadies., One chunk of basalt with a single Akraan cipher cut into it, oriented toward the planet, oriented toward the central corridor, oriented toward nothing.
