Rim

The Rim contains planets that are uncontrolled or actively contested by multiple entities. Corporations and Religious entities have the occasional planet “locked down” for themselves, but typically the rim are the active or passive Cold War battlegrounds for the major government bodies. These planets are relatively adjacent to the Core Worlds. They are controlled by local planetary bodies, split like Old Earth into various factions, or controlled by Crime Syndicates.

The Spikes

The Rim contains The Spikes, a collection of systems and planets on the edge of the Rim that are actively hazardous, uncolonized, or active war zones between human factions or humans/local fauna/aliens. There is evidence of alien ruins and technology in the Spikes, however, prompting a push in artifact hunters to brave the Spikes to avoid broaching the Depths.
