The Aquila Rift was the name given to a molecular cloud located in the anti-spinward region of the Deep Periphery.<ref name="ISP3:IEp50"/> The Aquila Rift was a major astrographical feature, and the largest of three identified significant molecular clouds in the anti-spinward Deep Periphery. Encompassing a region wider than the full extent of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the Aquila Rift is a dark interstellar cloud made up of molecular dust clouds dense enough to obscure the stars that lie beyond it from astronomical observations; those star systems that lie within the Rift itself have very dim night skies, with typically only a small number of stars shining brightly enough to be visible through the dust of the Rift. The Aquila Rift lies close to the Periphery border of the former [[Rim Worlds Republic]], and between the border of the Rift and the edge of the region that was once the [[Timbuktu Province|Timbuktu]] and [[Erdvynn Province]]s of the Republic lies the [[Lupus Cloud]], a large nebula. Stretching from the borders of the [[Axumite Providence]]—a notable nation in the Deep Periphery, located close to the anti-spinward border of the Aquila Rift—around the edge of the Aquila Rift and down to the relatively young and open stellar cluster known as [[Caesar's Crown]] is a chain of bright star systems known as [[Caesar's Bow]], an astronomical feature with a relatively high density of habitable worlds possessing complex forms of life.<ref name="ISP3:IEp49">''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3 '', p. 49, "Astrographical Overview"</ref>

While there were numerous colonies in the anti-spinward region of the Deep Periphery by the height of the [[Star League]], some dating back as far as the [[twenty-second century]], the [[Amaris Civil War]] and the fear of being the subject of reprisal attacks aimed at those perceived to be allies of [[Stefan Amaris]] led to those colonies with [[HPG]]s in the region shutting down communications with the [[Inner Sphere]], with many smaller colonies physically relocated deeper into the Periphery. The mystery of the disappearance of the [[Star League Defense Force]] during the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]] focussed deep space explorations on the Coreward regions of the Deep Periphery, and as a result the anti-spinward region of the Deep Periphery - including the vast expanse of the Aquila Rift - received little attention for centuries until expeditions by [[Interstellar Expeditions]] began probing the region in detail.<ref name="ISP3:IEp51">''Interstellar Players 3: Interstellar Expeditions'', p. 49-51, "Known History"</ref>

Aquila Rift was first identified in 2012 with the publication of ''[[Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3 ]]''. Other than the location of Aquila Rift and its definition as a nebula, no information was provided on the feature; in the absence of further information on the Deep Periphery no further detail is likely to be available on Aquila Rift.
