Cheshire System Lore
The Milky Way galaxy is host to a seemingly endless array of celestial bodies and an ever expanding variety of species.
Advanced species capable of space travel have begun to race across the stars in search of fame, fortune, adventure, and dominance.
Rising from the stardust and battles for resources, several large guilds and authorities been formed.
The SPA with their noble intentions to protect the new comers to the space travel scene strive to create order, safety, and rules for all. With the largest amount of territory in the Milky Way the SPA is well highly respected and while they prefer to use the power of diplomacy over their fire power, their military might is not to be trifled with. If a system is in need and wishes to align with them, they will go to great lengths to help secure and welcome those that seek them.
The CorpiVain merchants guild, who will travel to the far reaches of space to make a profit. They boost the economy of any System they are present in with trading, imports, and exports. But you do have to watch out for some of the guilds more shady members and organizations that deal in black markets, bribery, and purchasing planets to fill them with advertisements. If there is something you want or need, you can trust the Corp guild will find and sell it to you.
The Talasii space pirates that once had an iron grip on most of the known galaxy before they were pushed back by the SPA. This guild is brimming with pirates, mercenaries, and other shady types that would sell you out in a second. They do provide a place for those that do not feel they fit in elsewhere and will give you work. But make sure to trust them sparingly. A Talasii guild member will become an ally or enemy at a moments notice if it benefits them. As soon as that benefit is gone they hold loyalty to no one but themselves and The Crimson Wings.
The Cheshire System is the home of Earth,Anua, Tollum, Redoa, and Armondis.
Earth is the most recent planet to have gained access to deep space travel and as a result has been introduced to other sentient life forms in the Cheshire System. Earth and the other planets in this system are still getting fully immersed into galactic trade, currency, and monitoring interplanetary visitors closely. The Cheshire System is under the watch of the SPA and has protection from interstellar pirates, corporations, and other groups that may try and take advantage of sentient life forms that are just entering the deep space scene.
The SPA was quick to take this system under its wing, particularly once they realized that many of the planets in the Cheshire System held valuable resources that were often scarce. This would provide a symbiotic relationship between the now space faring life forms that lived there and the SPA's growing territory. With so much help and opportunity on the horizon there can't be many downsides to this right?
