Grifter Space
Where the law is only as good as your aim.
Grifter Space... land of the lost, deprived, & lawless, within this region the only law of the land is take it if you can otherwise each to their own. Known within its borders as Free Space the region is a hotbed for all manner of rogue organizations, pirate guilds, & slave markets. Grifter Space is the underbelly of the civilized worlds where grifter colonies form an ever shifting black market network that spans an entire sector. In this cutthroat world of nefarious dealings where loyalties run thin only the strong & cunning survive.
"When doing business in Grifter Space one needs to be a fast talker, with an even faster draw. Negotiations are often conducted at the end of a blaster. When shooting the messenger is just part of the negotiation tactics you're going to want to be on the right end." Sir Twixxle Goldweave
Geography
The seeming chaos of politics within Free Space is paled only by the turbulence of the region itself, a harsh environment in constant turmoil. Host to a dense population of bright unstable young stars the region is notorious for its constant & violent cosmic storms. Unlike other known storms of these types which generally appear gradually, often remaining for several centuries before collapsing. While those of Grifter Space appear in great numbers forming quickly then erupting violently before collapsing rarely, lasting longer than a few days.
Fauna & Flora
Due to the sheer violent & unpredictable nature of Grifter Space flora & fauna is limited to small pockets of stable regions. An oasis is prized territory within free space, only controlled by the most powerful colonies, these lush jewels are hard to locate making secrecy essential to keeping ones prize.
Within the badlands beyond these oasis' the only form life known are the Gruebber, a very tiny leech like creature that attach themselves to aethersails & lead lines to feed on the raw majix. It is believed that these creatures live in the depths of the aether forced to the surface by the violent storms in the area. These creatures are rarely encountered except during or directly after cosmic eruptions.
Natural Resources
The high population of very young stars found in free space leaves most planetary bodies of these star systems in the formation stage. A wide range of resources can be found within these systems if your pilot is good enough to get into the system alive. The aether penetrates deep into the star systems where the most violent storms are driven by the unstable stars. Within the inner orbits where the rocky terrestrial planets are beginning to form the environment is somewhat more stable making the resources easier to access than the outer edges of the system.
