Dateline Glenn: Pilots traveling in some sectors have been reporting instances of what has been termed "Heavy Space", and travel has become arduous in many areas due to this phenomenon. This problem is confusing and angering many people. Arguments and firefights have been erupting wherever it appears.When asked about Heavy Space, Professor Farnsworth of the Glenn Science Commission, and owner of Planet Express Inc. replied, "Heavy Space is simply the condensation of the reaction exhaust from passing vessels. If enough traffic occurs in a given area of space, the various gases left behind by the passing ships causes additional friction on ship hulls, resulting in slower speeds and hampered maneuverability."
It is a problem that many are predicting will continue for quite some time. As more pilots take to the stars in the fight against the V'rix or just to earn a living, the traffic near all stations increases. But Professor Farnsworth added, "Good news everyone! With the proper application of emission controls, we can stop the Heavy Space from spreading."
Affected sectors include, but are not limited to: Akeron's Gate, Asteroid Belt Alpha, Carpenter, Freya, Glenn, Jupiter, Mars, New Edinburgh, Saturn, and Swooping Eagle.
Travel advisories are issued for these areas.
