Latent Anti-Drift Geoscapes

The Latent Anti-Drift Geoscapes, commonly referred to as “The LAG”, are geographic locations around Null Zones where the fabric of reality has not fully stabilized.
Formally named and established in CSY 53 by the Bureau of Drift Management, the LAG serve as a buffer zone between the densely populated drift stable areas and the Null Zones. It is here where survivors and refugees of the Drift Wars who did not take to the megacities, smaller companies looking for cheaper real-estate, and those who chose to expose themselves to the danger outside of the safe and secure walls of the drift stable areas thrive and contribute to society. While the allure of living in such a lawless and dangerous area evades the reasoning of the more sensible Consortium citizen, those who move to or otherwise operate within the LAG do so knowing the risks.
The establishment of the LAG and how it is utilized has been the topic of debate among many of the various senior management committees. Across the board, the LAG is not considered marketable real-estate or anything that can serve as areas to expand drift stable settlements into. This is due to the, all-be-it infrequent, occurrences of drift events. The value that is seen in the LAG though is one of security. The LAG acts as a barrier between the civilized drift stable world and the horrific corruptions of reality which are the Null Zones.

Geography

The LAG is the buffer zone between the drift stable settlements and the Null Zones. It has mixed geography that varies from planet to planet within the Terran Consortium.

Fauna & Flora

The ecology can vary from planet to planet. One thing that makes The LAG stand out is aside from the indigenous Flora and Fauna of the planet, there may also be patches of land, buildings, ruins, flora, and fauna from other realities mixed in due to drift activity.

Natural Resources

Due to the drift instabilities, the LAG contains resources not normally found within the Earth S-03 reality. The closer one gets to the Null Zones within the LAG, the more likely they are to find something of value to the MegaCorporations. The risk to send company assets into this area outweighs the reward for most MegaCorporations. In order to see benefits, there are bounties on various drift related commodities.
