The Blackout happened directly due to an event known as the "Pulse", which was a subspace explosion originating in Earhart. In-universe, however, the laymen usually associate it with the explosion of the Dublin JG. Earhart is basically a subspace nexus and also the destination of all ships that presumably "disappeared" due to jump malfunction.

There's a lot of speculation about the trigger that caused the pulse, considering that Kusari had in the same timeframe began to develop their own jump drive system with the Niyodo.

More recently, we have the Deep Omegas, basically a dangerous, mostly-uncharted region of the Omegas teeming with hostile patrols and treasures. No relation to any subspace anomaly.
