The Core

The Core are those worlds first colonized by Humans after the exodus from Earth and Sol System. Deeply interconnected by wormholes and otherwise aided by Warp Drive, a strong economy and sense of unity have developed. After the colonization of The Core, these worlds reached further, colonizing The Fringe, who are reliant on the more robust economy of the central worlds.

While the wormholes connecting The Core provide a web of relatively quick travel, the actual galactic coordinates of these Core Worlds are relatively far-flung such that most worlds of The Fringe are compelled to make use of the wormholes, should they wish to trade with other Fringe worlds not within a handful of lightyears of their Core connection.
