mega rift ? .. micro rift?
a funny thought ? could a rift be big enough to rift a hole galaxy ? and on the other end could a rift be small enough to rift UN atom ???
Re: mega rift ? .. micro rift?
In theory, yes to both. In practice, a micro-rift would be pretty simple, needing a miniscule amount of PPE to open. Rifting a galaxy would require a monumental amount of PPE to accomplish, and would likely be a one time fluke of nature.

Micro-Rifts are mentioned in a few places in Rifts.
A Mega Rift to Rift a galaxy through while possible, is likely going to be very PPE intensive.

Unknowable. Nothing published even hints at the possibility or lack thereof. I would assume no until something is published to that effect, but a GM can do whatever he wants.

One example doesn't make it a rule! More people need to experiment to prove it wrong!

yes...but weren't the Atlanteans trying to create ONE rift that would connect to many many dimensions...then it created the massive one as a mistake? or maybe you meant that tongue in cheek and I am being too serious.

Re: mega rift ? .. micro rift?
Considering that a continent-sized Rift is a deific power of a dragon-god, I'm not even sure who could do a planet-sized one, much less a sun or solar system or galaxy.
