The Sable throat
also: the throat
The single door in and out of the Sable Reach — the chokepoint every hull must pass.
In full
The Span's mouth onto the Sable Reach, sitting on the stable-space lip of that mouth: geographically outside the reach, controlling the only authenticated way into and out of it. One fixed junction, no alternative. Whoever holds the throat holds the reach — which is why what begins as a navigation marker ends as the most contested point in the era.
Key facts
- "The single door out of the Sable Reach."
- A named, not numbered, junction — like the Lantern and the Causeway.
- The Cairn sits on it.
- Militarised by Earth once corridor use is rationed.
