The '''Calypso Deeps''' is a cluster of 89 star systems located in the [[Local Supercluster]]. The cluster includes 16 colonized systems and contains at least 8 countries. With the notable exception of the [[Republic of Türkiye]], all of the nations of the Calypso Deeps are [[Non-Legacy Nation|non-legacy nations]].


The '''Calypso Deeps''' is a cluster of star systems located in the [[Local Supercluster]]. It extends outward with Antequera at  its approximate center, outward to the [[Amazonia Cluster]] on its coreward-by-trailward edge, the [[Local Cluster]] on its coreward, and the [[New Canaan Corridor]] on its spinward. It contains ten constituent subclusters and approximately 23 star systems.
== Astrography ==
The Calypso Deeps are situated rimward of the [[Local Cluster]], spinward of the [[Amazonia Cluster]] and [[Sea of Clouds]], and trailward of the [[New Canaan Corridor]].


Five sovereign states exist in the Calypso Deeps: The [[Republic of the Union of Andulela-Chelif]], the [[Bolivarian Republic of Callao]], the [[Republic of Callwood]], the [[Heinlein Colonial Republic]], and the [[Federation of Senekane]].
=== Translight Strings ===
 
There are a total of 109 charted translight strings connecting the 89 star systems of the Calypso Deeps. 44 of those translight strings are weak and unstable. There are six nexus star systems in the Calypso Deeps, each possessing at least four translight strings converging there: Anansi, Gonzalo, Encruzilhada, Callwood, Menouf, and Sparrow.  
== Etymology ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width:75%"
The Calypso Deeps is named after Calypso (/kəˈlɪpsoʊ/; Ancient Greek: Καλυψώ, <small>romanized:</small> ''Kalupsō'', <small>lit. </small>'she who conceals'), a nymph from Greek mythology who lived on the island of Ogygia, where, according to Homer's ''Odyssey'', she detained Odysseus for seven years against his will. She promised Odysseus immortality if he would stay with her, but Odysseus preferred to return home. Eventually, after the intervention of the other gods, Calypso was forced to let Odysseus go.

The Calypso Deeps is a cluster of 89 star systems located in the Local Supercluster. The cluster includes 16 colonized systems and contains at least 8 countries. With the notable exception of the Republic of Türkiye, all of the nations of the Calypso Deeps are non-legacy nations.

Astrography

The Calypso Deeps are situated rimward of the Local Cluster, spinward of the Amazonia Cluster and Sea of Clouds, and trailward of the New Canaan Corridor.

Translight Strings

There are a total of 109 charted translight strings connecting the 89 star systems of the Calypso Deeps. 44 of those translight strings are weak and unstable. There are six nexus star systems in the Calypso Deeps, each possessing at least four translight strings converging there: Anansi, Gonzalo, Encruzilhada, Callwood, Menouf, and Sparrow.

The Byblos Spire is a 4km tall obsidian-hued obelisk located in the Byblos system of the Calypso Deeps. Although the Spire and its surrounding structures are alien in origin, a 23-year long study has concluded that they are not of Scinfaxi origin.

Contemporary Issues

Piracy In The Calypso Deeps

Due to the ongoing threat of piracy in the Calypso Deeps, an estimated 1/3rd of independent captains traveling through the area have outfitted their craft with illegally-obtained armaments and protection systems.
