Near Space
Source Player Core pg. 34
Near Space is a term used by people in the galaxy for all worlds whose nearness to Drift beacons make travel swift and relatively safe. Communication, trade, and travel between Near Space planets is common. When new pathways emerged after a recent event known as the Drift Crisis, more remote worlds joined the Near Space trade network.
Near Space regions include the Veskarium, an empire of seven conquered planets and a few dozen colonies ruled by vesk military leaders; the Marixah Republic, a group of allied planets emerging onto the galactic stage; the Gideron Authority, an aggressive regime created by isolated colonists grabbing for power; Kreiholm Freehold, a coalition of peoples from the distant Scoured Stars system who banded together for mutual aid generations ago; and the Szandite Collective, a federation of worlds linked by ancient magic.
