This is the sharpest thing the series ever invented and it barely draws attention to it. The Light Year Limit is a ring of fast-moving asteroids and electrical storms, and it is also a legal boundary: cross it and the SilverHawks cannot touch you. A children’s cartoon from 1986 built a jurisdiction problem into its map, and then wrote episodes where the answer is not to shoot anybody but to get the crime back across the line!
The Starship Casino sits deliberately on the far side of it. The team’s workaround is to tow the casino back inside.
