This is one of those regions of space turned towards the almighty space dollar. The year is 2556. Piracy and despotism is technically lower than in most areas of war-torn human-occupied space, though the people still feel by and large oppressed and unsafe.

==Alien Races==

The dominant species in the known galaxy.
===[[Lizardperson|Lizardmen]]===
A race of sentient reptilians. Tend to hiss frequently. Frequently discriminated against by Humans.

===[[Podman|Podmen]]===
An organic race created from Nanotrasen research.
===[[Changeling|Changelings]]===
A previously unknown hostile race of shape shifting beings; little is known of this race, except they are hostile to non-changeling lifeforms. Many would pay a high price to capture one alive.

The Cult of the Elder Gods is highly untrusted but otherwise elusive religious organization bent on the revival of the so-called "Elder Gods" into the mortal realm. Despite their obviously dangerous practices, no confirmed reports of violence by members of the Cult have been reported, only rumor and unproven claims. Their nature is unknown, but recent discoveries have hinted to the possibility of being able to de-convert members of this cult through what has been dubbed "religious warfare".

===United Earth Government===
===Sovereign Systems of Earth===
The United Earth Government is a central government operating from old Earth. While the UEG is a shadow of its former glory from prior to the void wars it nevertheless holds significant influence within the core worlds thanks to its powerful military. The deeper recesses of space however remain well out of the reach of the UEG, and will continue to be as such for a long time.

The UEG barely is able to hold some influence over powerful corporations such as Nanotrasen by maintaing a very tight grip over their more lucrative assets. An example being that the UEG hold the rights to the precious few system that house the rare resource 'Plasma', of which the UEG 'graciously' allow Nanotrasen to mine and explore these system so long as NT pays the UEG its dues.

Aside from its bare grip over Nanotrasen, the UEG has virtually no physical presence in the outer sectors of space, so long as they get their way.
