An expansive region of space resting roughly between Demaria and Earth. The Shinaran Drift is home to a number of rogue, isolated colonies that once formed together to form the Shinaran Drift Syndicate, as well as playing host to a number of potentially lethal navigational hazards, such as the Avernus Cluster. These combined hazards, along with the added radiation caused by the destruction of an OS Ring that was once placed at its heart, has earned the Shinaran Drift a reputation as a Badlands region. It was host to Shinara Station between 3002 and 3003, before the DSV Darlath destroyed it.
