FAQ

Do other sophont species live beyond the borders of Charted Space?

  • Certainly although life there is often very different than within Charted Space. For one thing, it is often far less densely concentrated.

Have the sophont species of Charted Space ventured into these territories?

  • In many cases, yes. Some were refugees or outbound explorers that never reestablished contact. Others were explorers, pirates, or trade speculators. Sometimes they were all of the above. And in many cases, no lifeform from Charted Space, sophontic or not, has ever been there.

How much of the Milky Way Galaxy is both charted and uncharted?

History & Background (Dossier)

The exact location of Uncharted Space is constantly changing. And what each race considers unchartered is also subjective. The races trade some astrographic star charts through haggling, Starport Authority regulation, and by other means, but no power yet trades all of its knowledge openly.
