Imperial Hyperspace Security Net

Hyperspace Security Net was an overlapping network hyperspace disruption technologies used by the Galactic Empire to control hyperspace traffic through the Deep Core. Composed primarily of gravity mines and Interdictor Cruisers, the Hyperspace Security Net monitored all hyperspace traffic entering and exiting the Deep Core on hyperspace lanes. The forces that maintained the network worked closely with the Bureau of Ships and Services to check for Imperial Security Authorization and Imperial Intelligence Clearance. Ships that failed to provide appopriate authorization were destroyed by Star Destroyers that supported the network.

Locations with viable alternative routes, such as Vulpter, became major hubs of activity for pirate, smuggler, Rebel and later New Republic forces.
