The expanse economy is booming, which helps the Par'tha 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. | There are two distinct parts to the Par'tha Expanse: the [[Expanse Sector]] and the [[Freeworlds Region]].

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. | Slowly encroaching on the [[Expanse Sector|Expanse]] is the [[Freeworlds Region]], a series of systems on the border of the sector.
