The larger setting takes place in The Orion Spur, a sizeable subset of the Milky Way galaxy. The stations are owned by [[Lore:Nanotrasen\|Nanotrasen]], a large corporation. The Nova Sector exists in the outer reaches of the [[Lore:SolFed\|Sol Federation]]'s grasp, leaving the station subject both to SolFed's laws and to other nearby cultures' whims. SolFed is a representative government stemming from the Sol system (where Earth is) representing numerous smaller cultures' interests in a large area around the Local Sol region.

	We put great care into making a lore environment where people can come to us and ask questions, as well. All sorts of feedback including, 'I don't like this,' 'Can I discuss something I want to add to the lore?' and 'I have an alternate suggestion for this piece of lore' are all more than valid. We care about making a setting that's fun for us and fun for the players, and our efforts thrive off collaboration. If there's something in the lore that would negatively impact your character and you're interested in discussing it, please hit us up!
