The outer rim surrounds the edge of the known galaxy. It spans thousands of systems, many still uncharted, many colonised for thousands of years, some rich, most poor. Safe travel between them is rare but a few trade routes are mapped and one system at the hub of several of these space lanes is the system of Severna. This position brings many travellers through the system letting it grow as a major servicing hub and trading destination. It’s a system rich in resources but also trouble.
The Severna system has 9 planets with countless moons. The main planet, Severna Prime, was the first to be colonised but vast tracts of it were inhospitable. That did not put off the early settlers but soon the available land was filled and to open up new territory a terra-forming campaign was started. Campaigns on a planetary level were expensive and to fund it the early colonisers charged a levy to all who landed in the main spaceports. A flourishing black market encouraged bootleggers for all trade off world and even above-board shippers looked for an easy spot to transfer goods – settling on the small moon of Rauh Skutta.Over the years the small settlement on the moon grew larger and larger and gained a reputation as THE place on the outer rim to go if you needed anything – goods, services or manpower – honest or criminal – no questions asked.
