| - The Capellan Pass is the primary interstellar trade route between the Frontier Sector and the Rim and the only interstellar trade route between both regions open to the public. The published route links Volturnus, in the Zebulon System, and Faire, in the Capella System, but navigational data is also available for Anker, Ifshna and Homeworld. The route is unusual in that it passes through a dust cloud (the Eornic Cloud region of the Xagyg Dust Cloud), requiring the ship to exit the Void, make a radical course correction and re-enter the Void a second time; this can be quite taxing on the engines, since the vectoring required takes almost an entire day of 1g thrust, with little room for error. Experienced spacers call this maneuver “making the bend”. There is some misconception regarding the relationship between the Capellan Pass and the Zebulon Corridor; the latter refers exclusively to the Truane's Star-Zebulon route, while the former is both the Zebulon-Capella route proper and the commercial name given by shipping companies to the Pale (Truane's Star) - Faire (Capella) route.
