History & Background (Dossier)

The Demon Cluster was settled by human refugees, fleeing the Destruction of Terra, in 2255AD. It is home to nearly 200 billion sophonts and has a rich culture and history. Star Lanes, interstellar trade routes, wind across the Cluster and link the various polities that lie within it.

The mythology of the Edur, a sophont species native to the cluster, may have influenced the choice of names for significant astrographic features in the region.
