Worlds & Cosmology

The following Eras have Summary information :

Astrography and travel in the Marches are dominated by the Spinward Main, a chain of 223 systems meandering through 15 of the Marches' 16 subsectors. Each system on the Spinward Main is only jump-1 from its nearest neighbors, making interstellar travel along the Main accessible even to starships with the least expensive jump drives.
