The Nexus

The universe is divided into several layers. Some are, inevitably, more dangerous than others. All of us began in the Nexus area. Where we went from there was up to us.


Earthforce

Earthforce Space

Most of us probably stayed in the more "welcoming" central layer patrolled and maintained by Earthforce, referred to as Earthforce Space.


Wild Space

Wild Space

The further reaches of space are known as Wild Space for good reason. No one faction lays claim to this area, and not all are very welcoming of newcomers.


Perilous Space

Perilous Space

Even further out, one stumbles into Perilous Space, a completely lawless land where some of the universe's more dangerous beings roam. It's said that far enough out in Perilous Space, one enters what's referred to as Perilous Perilous Space, where only the strongest have even the slightest chance of survival.


Minor Layers

In addition, there are several "pocket universes" of sorts that can be accessed from the normal universe, such as Arctia, Vulcan, or The Infernal Tempest. These are theorized to be some sort of sub-layers, each existing in a pocket of dead space between layers. However, that's just theory.


Shortcuts

There are also "Inter-layers." Juxtaposition, Concourse, and Subspace function as the shortcuts of the universe.

Juxtaposition gateways connect to a sort of sub-layer from which other, nearby Juxtaposition gateways in the same layer can be accessed.

Concourse sub-layers connect opposite ends of each layer of the universe (except, perhaps, for Perilous Space), with a gateway on either side.

Subspace gateways are capable, meanwhile, of carrying you between layers of the galaxy with ease. As a last note, the Subspace inter-layer should not be confused with Subspace proper.

However, there are dangers to these shortcuts. Their wormholes can only be entered by those with the fourth and highest level of skill in Warp Navigation. And once you enter, nigh-invincible Amoetroidizodals await you, one in Juxtaposition, two in Concourse, and three in Subspace.


Subspace

Subspace

The Subspace layer is the most recently discovered actual layer, and is home to the extremely powerful and dangerous Aveksaka, an ancient race who pilot organic starships. Those entering the Subspace layer proper should be well-prepared, or they may not leave alive. Subspace is also rumored to have shortcuts of its own, created by the powerful Aveksaka leaders for quick transport between each other's private realms.
