The reason is mainly the somewhat haphazard way the MPA expanded outwards and the disruption of the wormholes during the Version War. Due to an accident of transport-political geography the wormhole links towards this volume from both the MPA and Sagittarius Sphere were in the region attacked by the Negentropy Alliance. As a precaution the links were closed and the whole region was cut off.
Due to the slow rebuilding and political uncertainties among the neighbours it has taken many millennia to continue the linelaying projects. In addition the region around the Surreal Rash has also been isolated deliberately for many millennia. Finally the Keterist cultures to the galactic south have chosen not to expand into the region, keeping below the symmetry plane in accordance with old MPA-Keter treaties.
Recently the Sagittarius Transcultural Cooperation has become very active in the area, extending a number of wormholes into the region.
The region contains many unusual cultures and alien artifacts, various divergent To'ul'h clades, The Cooperative Venture, the Surreal Rash and countless other wonders. Some have expressed worry that there also lurks dangers like the Dawn Hunters or alien or mainbrain nanoweapons from the Reserve.
At present there is great excitement about the Serpens Frontier. A vast volume containing many fascinating cultures and objects is being rediscovered. Many societies that have been isolated for millennia re-connect to the Wormhole Nexus and several alien species will come into contact with the mainstream of humanity.

Volume of space centered around a group of stars apparently involved in an old transcendent civilisation. The volume stretches in a rough tetrahedron from the red dwarf 594-456111, the sun-like stars Alpha and Eta Filiae and the wisp of dark cloud locally called the Mouthpiece. It has numerous terraformed planets teeming with life, but is aggressively protected by both local nanosystems and several Caretaker Gods. What lies inside is unknown. - Shimmerers, The

World in the Serpens sector inhabited by a decadent and evolutionarily static heteromorph tweak clade, the Old Fogeys, who are served by turingrade vecs. The Old Fogeys are likely left from one of the Inner Sphere systems during the Age of Expansion, but records that might confirm this have been lost. - Zeta Legati
