Federal Colonies Zone 2

Official Designation
Zone 2 of the Federal Colonies is commonly known as the Core Systems and extends from the edge of the Sol system to a distance of 12.5 light-years from Earth. This region is controlled by the UEF via the Interstellar Colonial Authority (ICA).
Territory within this region is not subject to national or corporate appropriation by claim of sovereignty. Colonies and outposts within this region are not considered to be the territory of any one nation or corporation. This means no territory within this region can declare itself a nation, independent of ICA control.
The System
There are 22 UEF colonies in this region. Average journey time from Earth to the edge of the Core Systems takes just short of 4 Earth Standard Weeks. Heavily colonised with a high population-density, many colonies in this region are advanced industrial and agricultural worlds inhabited by hundreds of millions of colonists. All worlds possible are terraformed.
The Core Systems contains the most densely populated colony worlds outside of the Sol system as well as well-established interstellar trade routes.
