Galactic Rim Regions of the M-0 Galaxy

Galactic Rim Regions

Regions beyond the outer boundaries of the Galaxy Arms and Intergalactic space. These regions are sparsely populated, usually with old stars. The Union Astrographic Society has named six such regions in Astrographic maps of the M-0 Galaxy.

Upward- Coreward Rim Region
The Upward-Coreward Rim region was until about 5050 mostly Shiss controlled. It contains 2,476,345 identified stars and star systems that are no longer considered to be inside the spiral arm Perseus. The Coreward region also contains 2,045 Klack systems and 4 Archa Colonies. Overall and as of 5050 (OTT) there are 25,002 Union controlled systems. The entire Upward region is considered Union Space.

Traffic Connections to these worlds consist of mostly Clipper and Line ship connections and of course all systems are connected via Space Bus.

Outside Planet of the Ancient Sun system is the most distant star in relation to the Galactic Core and also a Union occupied system.

Balkor Planet of the Stephanus system is the Upward Rim region center and the only planet in that region with a Space train connection. C'Thinku is the Coreward Rim region center and is in the process of receiving a Space train connection.

Downward Rim Region
Downward Rim Region :  No Union planets, outposts or systems. Unexplored

Downward East Rim Region
Downward East Rim Region :  No Union planets, outposts or systems. Unexplored

Spinward-Downward Rim Region
Spinward-Downward Rim Region:  There is one Union Outpost - Gatehouse next to the Ancient Gate connecting to the Canis Major Dwarf. A space train connection is planned to put into service by 5055

Upper Spinward Rim Region
The most developed Rim region in Union terms. Most prominent system is the Threshold System and starting point of the Bridge to Andromeda. 7889 systems are considered to be in the Upper Spinward Rim region and all are Union occupied and utilized. Major space train connections, HHW to Threshold. Region core is the Monserat System. The home worlds of the Ebony Elfin and the Maggi Sauron are also located in this region.

Upward West Rim Region
Upward West Rim Region :  Also known as the Union's back yard. It is almost as well developed as the Upper Spinward Rim Region and features 40,556 stars of which 3442 are Union occupied and utilized. There are three known Ancient Gates ( to: Sagittarius Dwarf, Ursa Major I Dwarf , Carina Dwarf ) all with Gate Houses and recently established Space Train Connections. The Region core system is Carina Path  (also the connections to Union Vault 1 and 2 as well as Lonely Station are in this region)
