The route was blazed by Mungo Baobab, and was one of only two routes that ran through that treacherous area of hyperspace, the other being the less known Death Wind Corridor. Although heavily traveled, the route was a challenge even for the most seasoned astronavigators and was marked by a series of nav-beacons attached to "lightstation" space stations to assist in navigating the route successfully. Prior to the lightstations, travelers had to follow the annual path of the rainbow comet, just as Baobab had when first pioneering the route.
