[Placeholder — the homeworld, the Exodus, the portals, the present era.]
Factions
[Placeholder — the six powers of the known map, and how they get along. Badly, mostly.]
Shipyards & ships
[Placeholder — the five shipyards and their doctrines. You don’t shop for these; you fly whatever the contract puts under you. But if you know who built the hull, you know what to expect before Science finishes the scan.]
