Are there any known rifts near the Core Sys Sector (possible "Core" of the problem?)
Don´t want to offend anyone, just my 2 cents to that. It sounds like a highly localized phenomena from what you guys told so far and how it sounds when people talk about the book. It sounds like a special area where space/time has been corrupted and created a opening or rift of some sort, that acts like a distortion. I guess ships can´t pass it, and if enemy´s comes out of this rift, it would explain why it´s an rift of terror. Or even worse, fly into it without the right devices could simply kill you in a extreme unpleasant way 
If i would be the Empire or the Federation, depending where exactly the rift is located, i would keep it confidential and out of any official star map markings. So it sounds more like a inter dimensional rift, a crossroad into another dimension or some kind of unstable wormhole. The clue i would looking for would be to check if at presumed positions of that rift would be any battle zones, especially capital ships.
And i think too that it is closer to the human space and not so extremely far out. The unknown artifacts have been found, so far, also in human space, but not far away out. From what we know!

Anything like this in the lore that we know of? I'm not familiar with all of it. Makes sense for sure as well.
Well i know there where speculations about thargoids origins. It was either that they where from another galaxy or a parallel universe. As far as i know, it was never confirmed if they are from outside our galaxy or another dimension. But thats the only thing i know for certain, the rest is speculation from what people wrote so far, the comments and other stuff. And because i didn´t read the book so far (english books are quit harder to read for me, it isn´t my native tongue ^^) it´s purely speculation from what we talked and saw so far.

No worries Ferigad, your 2 cents is welcome. You may of course be totally correct.
I thought I read that FD were not planning on adding worm holes or other non-scientifically validated Phenomena which is why I was looking at the rift as being a real thing. But, who knows
I read the book a while ago and don't recall anything more specific than the Reidquat-Reorte line and it being something the Feds and Empire both knew about but were keeping secret. Will have to have another read of the whole book I guess and see if there are any other possible clues (as well as his earlier ones, which are free at least).
Is Sol along the Riedquat-Reorte line?
It shouldn't be, as its coordinates are 0, 0, 0
What excatly, btw. is meant with the reidquat-Reorte line? Does it mean in a line between these two systems, a route? Or on any kind of line from, say, the center of the galaxy or sol , in a straight line crossing through this two systems? It seems still a bit vague.
In the book, IIRC:
It was implied that a line representing a route outwards to the edge of the galaxy that started in Reorte and went through Riedquat (not sure if I have them reversed BTW) if extended outwards would lead to the Formidine Rift and this great alien cover-up, which a pilot had visited once.
Edit: Sorry, should have had this in spoiler tags when I first posted.

I was there a while back...my memory isn't what it used to be since I came back.......
sorry what were we talking about?
Hmm, less than 3,000Ly out... much more accessible to folks if there was going to be an alien.... err, sorry, lost my train of thought there. Nice weather we are having, huh?
Edit: Unfortunately it is far off the plane of the starting point (48) and is way up above it at 300. Not sure if that is important or not, but presumably the intended line would stay on that plane?

Well, the idear behind the "line" (check spoilers from clavain) would at least offer a brute force method. I doubt the line will excatly pinpoint the location, but it gives us a pretty narrow corridor to search for. With enough pilots it could be done, i belive. If we would have some more clues to narrow it a bit more down, i am pretty certain we could find it by stupidly searching along the corridor. It has only one issue. We don´t know if that what we are seeking is an signal, a celestial body or a fix point of interest.
But even at the moment we got nice corridor that focus the search pattern more then with the UA issue at the moment. Who knows, maybe with some luck we will get via the UA´s a hint for a more focused attempt of searching?

A group of folks are preparing to do so: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=135529&page=4
Trying to decide if I want to join them or hang out and see what might happen with 1.3 first...
I couldn't possibly comment.
Cheers,

Is it Mattie Storin?
Sounds like fun, and I'm already in the area. Let's join up.
