How much time has passed since the "True Vacuum" catastrophe?
What were the effects?
Should we need to account for any damage?

If the catastrophe happened decades or a century ago then I may try to make a "civilization" as an interstellar trade company called the White Interstellar Corporations.

We will say for the sake of drama that the Catastrophe happened exactly four weeks ago at the start of the RP - which gives everyone a 40,000 lightyear scouting umbrella if they moved immediately.

The effects are stated in the premise, but here's a reiteration of them:

-All structures in the universe - galaxies, star clusters, nebulas, star systems etcetera - have had their constituent parts randomly redistributed throughout the True Vacuum universe. This means that no galaxies star clusters, or nebulas currently exist. Supernova remnants (which can be like nebulas) remain, so expect a few of those littered around. Singularities and galactic cores have also been displaced but remain intact. Galactic Gamma Bubbles also remain intact, meaning there may exist large regions of the True Vacuum which are impassable (introducing a natural barriers aspect which would normally not be present). Thankfully for everyone, RPJs did not remain intact, and so there's no need to worry about being obliterated by those.

-The exceptions to the above: Your civilizations. Every star system and planet controlled by your nations were lifted out of the False Vacuum universe cookie-cutter style (nobody knows why). All your systems and territory remains in the same configuration in terms of distances and such. However, all surrounding territory is completely unfamiliar, composed of utterly alien star systems with planets and stars completely unknown to you.

Damage that could have occurred to your nation includes the loss of trade routes and alliances, the loss of territories you controlled in name (plantations and the like), and incidental damage from a lot of planets and stars either be closer or further away from your own star systems (imagine if a new star appeared within 70,000 AU of Sol, or if a couple of new rogue planets hurtled into the system). However, it would not be unreasonable to say that apart from displacement shock and loss of external assets, the nations did not receive any major infrastructural damage unless they were a large Trade federation or the like.
