2300 CE Universe

The 2300 CE universe is a hard-science, interstellar civilization bound together by a network of Jump Gates linking thirteen star systems into a fragile economic and political lattice. Travel between stars is fast but constrained, making space feel less like an open ocean and more like a set of controlled corridors where trade, power, and survival intersect.

Humanity lives and works in vacuum—aboard torch-driven ships, orbital habitats, and isolated frontier stations—where gravity comes from thrust or spin, and every decision carries measurable cost in fuel, heat, and time.

It is a world of quiet professionalism and constant tension: naval patrols, merchant convoys, corporate interests, and independent operators all navigating a system where distance is vast, resources are finite, and mistakes are paid for in blood, metal, and momentum.
