Par'tha Expanse: Difference between revisions

The expanse has a large number of temperate worlds within it, and an abundance of raw materials ripe for the mining, including some which are relatively rare in the rest of the galaxy. The expanse economy is booming, which helps the Par'thinian lords afford their fine estates and huge luxury cruisers. The expanse has a large population of highly educated workers, and its research facilities rank among the most productive in known space.

There are two distinct parts to the Par'tha Expanse: the [[Expanse Sector]] and the [[Freeworlds Region]]. The [[Expanse Sector]] is an ore-rich area of space under the control of noble houses ���?? the remnants of the small stellar empire which once ruled the sector centuries ago. It consists of seven provinces which make up specific house holdings. The Sector capital is [[Oscion]], an independent world which, by tradition, is governed by the ruling coalition.

Slowly encroaching on the [[Expanse Sector|Expanse]] is the [[Freeworlds Region]], a series of systems on the border of the sector. The [[Freeworlds Region]], which was once the backwards fringe of the sector, has become important because of its position at the end of the [[Jenatris Corridor]]. Because most Expanse ore must pass through the Freeworlds, there is a lot of bickering about the high tariffs the Freeworlds place on Expanse shipping.
