Fyndii Space

This region of space is near the Manrealm, but resides further inwards towards the galactic core. It served as one of the major theatres of battle during the Double War. It now contains numerous human-settled worlds, but is still dominated by the Fyndii.

S'uthlam
Cosmopolitan human world and a centre of trade for its sector. The majority of citizens follow the Church of Life Evolving, which teaches that the purpose of life is to breed in order to produce more evolved human beings. This has resulted in the planet becoming grossly overpopulated and spreading dense unsustainable cities across every continent.
