yeah this doesn’t really sound like a … barrier… per se, but just a zone of space that is not safe to travel at light speed through. Whereas in Trek, it actively prevents people from entering/exiting the galaxy.
Correct. The “barrier” in Star Wars is a mess of hyperspace disturbances that prevent safe navigation. Ancient Jedi and Sith found ways through using the Force, and using the relics they stored these routes in (“wayfinders”) is the only way to traverse it.
@FormerGameDev Well, it’s called the galactic barrier and it makes practical travel outside of the galaxy impossible, since you would need to travel faster than light speed to get anywhere, but no it isn’t as hard and fast of a barrier as in Trek.
