The layout and performance of the Channel Anchors in the Rim make the region vital for speeding commerce and communication among the central galactic states from the Imperium to Shobah.

Prominent landmarks in the Rim include the blue giant Azure, the black hole Point of No Return, and the planetary nebula Mokid’s Eye.
