The Known Worlds comprise the bulk of explored space, known by who being defined as The Unity Earth Sphere Alliance.

Division of realestate

Geographically by area, Gudersnipe and the Alliance jointly control around 30% of the Known Worlds in an area known as Joint Space, with each side also controlling an additional 10% individually. Thus the two major powers together comprise over 50% of explored space. Another 25% is comprised of statistically insignificantly-sized governments with no mutual affiliations and not a part of the Alliance or under the protection of Gudersnipe (Read: nobody controls them)M’KHara alone comprises 10%, and the mapped regions of Kamian space represent 5%. The other 15% belongs to the Elves and the Dwarves, though limited interaction between them and humans, coupled with difficulty converting units of measure, has led to a marked lack of understanding in the exact size of the Elven and Dwarven domains. Their lands lie on the outskirts of the Known Worlds and may, if political winds allow for full exploration, eventually double or triple the Known Worlds. It is also important to note that the full scale of Kamian space is unknown, and based on conservative estimates may add an additional 10-20% if and when accurate charting can be preformed.


Beyond the Known Worlds

Beyond the Known Worlds lies an uncharted vastness of dimensions. This area is imaginatively reoffered to as ‘The Unknown.’

A statistically insignificant portion of the unknown has been explored remotely by unmannded GS probes, with manned missions advancing the frontiers constantly. Additionally, numerous Freelancer ships have ventured out beyond the fringes of explored space and returned, often with wild tales. Still other ships have never come back, they are presumed missing and probably on a beach somewhere.
