The Void

Contrary to its name, the void is actually full of life. It is a separate universe that cannot be accessed by any means, with one exception. After a person is killed in the main universe, they become a ghost for several hours before being sent here in a new body. Other than this property, it is surprisingly similar to the laws of physics we are used to, being very similar to the main universe. Except dying here will render one's soul inactive for several Earth years until being rebuilt in a random location somewhere, often on a different planet. Souls entering the universe can remember technologies built in their previous life in the main universe, giving rise to starships and other advanced technologies. Wars are still fought between various factions. Because many different species inhabits it, and because the arrival destination for new souls entering the place is random, some factions have a significant quantity of species they would not normally have, these factions being significantly larger than their real world equivalents. However, new souls cannot be created in this universe. New babies of sentient species can be born, but they will never become sapient. A similar thing applies to Sentient Robots.
As this place takes in souls from all alternate timelines, timeline specific factions (such as the Accuilax Purifiers or Vidath) can be seen here. 
There is no way out of the void other than the use of extremely rare Rikavi technology. These have never been seen in the Void. The Rikavi Ancients are not known to be present in the void. If they were it would quickly lead to the main universe being overwhelmed by the far more powerful Void military. Even the weakest Void militaries could probably defeat some or even mostFortrais Galaxy Cluster militaries. The strongest are equipped with archaeotech (e.g. Scattershapes) and could likely conquer the cluster with ease. Although there are some more dystopian societies, they have been forced by the Null Xadia (the void version of the Xadia Ancients) to adopt policies that cater to the people. There may be less suffering in the Void, but it is understood that there is no way out because they are all recreated after they die. Many parties have attempted to find ways out of the Void, to no avail.
