Barrens

The Barrens is the colloquial name given to a region of space with zero density and no change in gravimetric readings. This is caused by an absence of star systems in the region. The Barrens occupies an area roughly 1,000 light-years across.

The only known star in the region is a red dwarf star, Rizlow. Rizlow was discovered on Stardate 201708.20 by crew aboard USS Lexington.
