The New Canaan Corridor is a group of 28 star systems located within the Local Supercluster. The cluster includes one colonized system belonging solely to the Republic of New Canaan. A non-legacy nation, New Canaan emerged entirely in the post-Earth era and does not share specific historical, cultural, or linguistic ties to any single nation of Earth.
Etymology
Hebrew כנען k'na'an ("to bend, to kneel; to be low, humble, or subjugated"), the namesake for a historical region and bronze age civilization once located in Earth's Southern Levant.
Astrography
The New Canaan Corridor is situated spinward of the Calypso Deeps and rimward of the Well of Embers.
Translight Strings
There are a total of 31 charted translight strings connecting the 28 star systems of the New Canaan Corridor. Over two-thirds of the translight strings of the New Canaan Corridor are weak and unstable. This cluster does not have any nexus star systems, as none of its stars have four or more strings connecting to them.

USNS Threshold Sighting
One of the Orion Arm's most famous ghost ships, the USNS Threshold, has been claimed to have been sighted in the New Canaan Corridor's Barong System. The sighting, attested by a society of freelancers and network enthusiasts dedicated to the exploration of interstellar debris, is the most recent of numerous sightings of the ship across the Orion Arm.
Piracy in the New Canaan Corridor
A joint Co-Prosperity Sphere - Orion Treaty Organization attempt to pacify and stabilize the New Canaan Corridor is ongoing. In this pursuit, the Empire of Japan has provided equipment and funding for many anti-piracy militias, many of which consist primarily of former pirates and rebels. One of the most notable of which being the Rangda Peacekeeping Action Team. Although the backing of these militia groups seems to be resulting in a drop in the number of attacks on shipping throughout the corridor, critics have raised concerns regarding human rights abuses and a lack of oversight.
Independent anti-piracy forces in the New Canaan Corridor are subject to severe limitations due to pressure from the governments of the superpowers and regional governments. Critics assert that these limitations leave third-party security organizations under-equipped and formal militaries overstretched.
Security organization authorities operating in the New Canaan Corridor have launched an investigation following a series of attacks on heavily-armed peacekeeping craft.
