well, it certainly was beyond the scope of a map last time I looked
it up in the catalog. Typo?
And I am moderately certain, based on other descriptions in CHallenges
and other places that humans have never gone to the P-pod homeworld,
or even very far into P-pod space. I gather that after the P-pods were
encountered, human exploration in that direction stopped cold, and hasn't
moved since.
