Charted Space

The region of space inhabited by humans and thousands of other races, both major and minor.

• Charted Space encompasses 128 sectors and more than 80,000 worlds. Both words are capitalized.
• Please see Astrography and Main for related information.

Description

However, Charted Space is unusual for one important reason – it has sentient life.

• Non-sentient life has been found beyond the little bubble of well-traveled space inhabited by the various major and minor races, but as far as explorers have traveled in any direction they have not found a sentient species that did not originate in Charted Space. The reason for this island of life among a billion barren worlds is unknown.
• Of course, scientists concede that there may be sentient life out there, beyond the explored regions, who have not yet been contacted.
• There are groups of humans living on far-distant worlds at the edge of Charted Space. But they did not originate there; they were transported from Terra long ago for reasons unknown by a group or species known now as the Ancients.
