A significant part of the Shining Hinterlands was located in the Karos Graveyard, a region filled with ancient relics and debris from other civilizations, notably the Progenitors. The Hinterlands also extended to the southern part of Galaxy where during Vaygr War, a Vaygr assembly point was located. The exact location and borders of the region are unknown, however, Hiigaran motherships have visited it twice.
