The time is five thousand years from now. The place:
a band of populous star systems a thousand light years
from Earth. After hundreds of years colonizing the Solar
planets, the Human Civilization that was born on Earth left
that birthplace for the stars. The heavens
are dotted with human colonies and trade empires.
For centuries, there has been peaceful expansion. But nothing lasts forever... |

| Terellian Alliance | ||
|
The Terellian Alliance is an economic, military, and political
alliance of five major star systems in the Blue Drift. The
republics were formerly second-stage colonies established during
the Terellian expansion period five hundred years ago. The
alliance is a federal system in which each component maintains
autonomy over internal affairs, while interstellar issues are
managed by the CEO and Combined Senate located on Jarnell.

| Independent Systems | ||
|
Several star systems on the border of Alliance space have
managed to maintain their independence from the larger
federations that surround them.

|
| Marakan Hegemony | ||
|
The isolated and internally secretive government of Marak
has nevertheless developed a powerful diplomatic hold on many
neighboring star systems. The Marakan system has long been
an example of dynamic economy and prodigious military might as
the systems have been locked in a cold war struggle with the
Terellian Alliance. However, recent decades have seen the old
order start to crumble as the Marakan government has grown more
and more unpredictable.
