Okay, so the galaxy is divided into four quadrants. No names for them yet, but I know one will be 'Deadzone'.

There are two major factions: the Starx Dominion and the Federation. You got smaller factions, like the Kerini Empire, but they're not necessarily important right now. The Starx Dominion is very military-like and field powerful, large, well-trained, well-equipped forces in order to annex all sorts of systems throughout the galaxy. They control a little over 1/4th of the galaxy. The Federation was once a collection of other factions who resisted the Starx Dominion, but they have been severely weakened after the Corvais Wars. The Kerini Empire... well, they once tried to conquer the galaxy, but that was long, long ago. Corvais was a very important, very advanced planet, and capital of the Starx Dominion. Tension built up between the Dominion and the Federation until a terrorist attack on Corvais thrust the galaxy into conflict. The war was long and bloody, and ended with a stalemate - a treaty was signed that pretty much placed all possessions in the hands of either faction (so no one really gained or lost any possessions). Corvais, however, was horribly damaged. The war began, occurred, and ended on Corvais, and the once-bustling metropolis is now a shadow of its former self.

Now the Starx Dominion is rebuilding. Corvais-2 has become the new capital of their region of space. The Federation maintains most of its holdings, but the alliance is weakening, and civil war is possible. Meanwhile the Kerini Empire suffered no losses in the war, and so have an advantage if they ever try to start one (there are rumors THEY were the terrorists on Corvais).

Deadzone... this is what I like. Deadzone is a region of space where no one faction exerts control. Thieves, thugs, smugglers, druglords, criminals, killers, assassins, mercenaries, bounty hunters, scum,... that sort of stuff runs rampant. Drugs, alcohol, night clubs, sex, and violence is common. Their is a large spacestation here that has evolved over the centuries. It has been added onto, modified, and expanded and is a marvelous site - a literal wonderment of construction, but built entirely by scumbags.

Planets in Deadzone are rich in resources, but no one can really get there safely.

TO BE FINISHED SOON.
