The inner core of Andaluzia has always been a bastion of safety for those who have resided there since the merge of galaxies. Separated from the outer ring by a vast void of over a million light years, the civilizations of the inner ring are insulated from the problems of the outer galaxy. This comes at a high price however, the core of Andaluzia is relatively small and the civilizations who call the core home are large, old and powerful. Space for growth is scarce and there are few unknown planetary bodies within the inner core. Cooperation, subterfuge or Conquest is the only way forward within the core of Andaluzia and there are few places where one could hide away from the powers that be. 

For those who call this region of the galaxy home, I would give you a few words of caution. Tread lightly and keep your cards close to your chest for you are being watched. Choose your words, or more importantly, your actions carefully because war in this region will not just devastate the core but inevitably spill out into the wider galaxy. 

War within the core cannot be won without a great sacrifice of souls, material, culture and the stability of Andaluzia itself. 




The outer core of Andaluzia is the true frontier of the galaxy. Vast nebulae give birth to stars and planets constantly, keeping the outer rim in a perpetual state of change. Vast unknown quantities of planets exist within the outer rim and space for growth is abundant. World full of useful resources remain untapped and easily accessible for exploitation by those who dare to find them. 
	Isolated from the core, the worlds of the outer rim are completely independent and sovereign, from the political, social, physical and economic threats from the larger nations. This too come at a cost however. The outer ring of the galaxy is the frontier, the wilds of Andaluzia, anything can happen. Space travel should be done slowly and methodically, or one would risk jumping into a rogue planet, star or even one of the “cosmic beasts” that inhabit the outer ring. 
	As a result of being in constant flux, Magnetars, Neutron Stars, Supernova, Red Giants, Black holes and other cosmic phenomena are relatively common in the outer rim, coming face to face with these “ beasts” would mean a certain and ,maybe a not so, sudden death.
	There is more to fear than natural phenomena however, as the civilizations of the outer rim are largely unknown to one another. The outer ring of Andaluzia is a lush jungle brimming to the edge with life. However, and like all jungles, both predators and prey exist within the same space and compete for the same resources. Making yourself known could result in prosperous partnership or a lifetime of destruction. 

The choice is yours; will you cut a swath of destruction around the outer ring of Andaluzia or will you tame the wilds of this galaxy with the effort of other civilizations.
