Galactic Geography

Galactic geography is the location of the lore and game in the galaxy.

Constellation‘s End plays in the year 2438 in the milky way, accessing no dwarf galaxies, other galaxies or extra-galactic star clusters. The area of space influenced by humans has been divided into sectors.

There are three types of sectors:

S-[Number]: Civilised Sectors

W-[Number]: Sectors in uncivilized space (No / low influence by Superpowers or Corporations)

N-[Number]: Expansion sectors (largely unexplored / uninhabited)

Sector S-1
Sector one is the first sector to be named by the human Explorers Council (HEC) in 2179. Sector one spans an area of around 750000 ly2, which is on the inner edge of the Orion Spur around the SOL system. Sector 1 is the wealthiest in Human space, due to its enormous industrial density, featuring many influential corporations such as Central Dynamics, Hanaan Drive yards, and the Headquarters of the Federation and the Empire. Many call this sector also the Capitol sector.

Sector S-2
Sector two has for a long time been known as an area with an unusual amount of Gaia worlds and so-called near-perfect planets, leading to the first general signs of non-human presence in the galaxy. Curiously enough, the Nexus beacon was also discovered there, which led to the creation of the modern Obelisk PSD. Sector two, as mentioned, has a very high rate of near-perfect worlds and Gaia worlds, much like Galadan in Sector N-1, so tourism is a big part of this sector's economy.

Sector S-3
Sector three is the area of space around the Rakana nebula, which used to be known as the California Nebula until it was eventually renamed in 2301 by Rakana Corp to increase their influence on the political scene. Rakana Corp, one of the biggest and wealthiest Corporations, settled there during the great Expansion from 2270 to 2275 and claimed most of the systems before a superpower could intervene, which caused them to claim and own most of the Rakana Nebula. The Rakana Nebula, due to being a star-forming nebula, has a very high concentration of Trinium, which is, even until now, the most efficient known fuel source. In the Rakana Nebula, Rakana Gas miners found that Trinium is a suitable fuel source, not only for small ships but also for giant constructs, such as space stations, which allows them to traverse the void and has thus removed many of the obstacles involving stations.

Sector S-4
Sector four is the area surrounding Barnard's loop, which is home to many scientific installations, and Aegis Division, which has many Shipyards and laboratories deep in the mist of the nebula which is only accessible by a highly specific jump-route, or else any ship will destruct in a matter of minutes due to quantum and graviton traps set up by Aegis Division themselves to ward off unwanted visitors such as the reavers who would have much to gain from an attack on Aegis Division labs. Of course, the nebula also provides ample amounts of fuel and materials, nonetheless, only Corporations with a special license are allowed to mine there due to the importance of said Aegis Division facilities.

Sector S-5
Sector Five is an area of space found in the Sagittarius void between the Orion Spur and the Sagittarius arm. Whilst not technically an exceptionally inhabited sector, many influential and top-secret naval and research installations of the superpowers, along with some of the most important trade routes that connect the Sagittarius arm with the Orion Spur, which leads to Sector Five becoming a relatively contested region of space. The population density of this sector is generally very low, which is because of the low star density and overall lack of habitable planets.
