| While humanity has stretched its wings to explore the Orion Arm for 1,000 light-years in every direction, only about half of that space has been annexed by the stellar nations. Within this area, called the Stellar Ring, well-defined borders divide the stellar nations into recognized territories. Beyond the Stellar Ring is [[Open Space]], full of stars that have been explored but have yet to be annexed by any [[the stellar nations|stellar nation]]. | While humanity has stretched its wings to explore the Orion Arm for 1,000 light-years in every direction, only about half of that space has been annexed by the stellar nations.

| The heart of the Stellar Ring is [[Old Space]], the region within 200 light-years of Sol. Each nation began its expansion here, and the first-world planets of Old Space represent the core of human territory. Old Space's planets are marked by miles-high megatropolises that stretch almost endlessly over the surface. The poor, the working class, and the ultra-rich alike dwell on these city-planets. Though urbanized from pole to pole, first worlds feature incredible diversity. Some portions are pristine and beautiful, graced with grand architecture and public art. Others are run down and filthy, crowded with the destitute and the criminal. In between, winding along the wide avenues and around the magnetic highways, the commercial districts full of shops and restaurants are painted in the kaleidoscopic light of advertising boards, holo commercials, and garish interactive placards. On most first worlds, humans and aliens live and work side by side. | The heart of the Stellar Ring is [[Old Space]], the region within 200 light-years of Sol.

| [[Concord Administrator (Advanced Class)|Concord Administrators]] serve throughout human space, enforcing the terms and conditions of the Treaty. While many fill posts in the Concord Neutralities, they also poke around on colony worlds, alien reservations, [[The Verge|the Verge]], Open Space, and disputed regions of the Ring. Wherever they serve, they foster good relations and negotiate differences of opinion. | [[Concord Administrator (Advanced Class)|Concord Administrators]] serve throughout human space, enforcing the terms and conditions of the Treaty.
