The 1000LY Question

[Shanaeri]

Was chatting to a fellow explorer in team speak the other day and he asked what I thought was an interesting question.
"Is there anywhere in the galaxy that is more than 1000LY away from a place that's already been discovered?"

Now of course there is no way of telling, and on my recent trip I did some 6,200 systems where no one had been. But I had no idea if the system next door had been discovered or not.

I'd like to think there is, but 1000LY is a long radius for something to remain unexplored

Most people travel within a few hundred LY of the galactic plane, so I would expect there are plenty of systems +/- 1500 LY or so from the plane which are indeed 1000 LY from any visited systems.

There almost certainly is, but basically it's Schroedinger's Star system, if you get there, you have already been to a star system that is within jump range of it
