Setting
It is divided into four major areas called quadrants: Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta, each of which compose one-quarter of the galaxy.
The TNG-Aschen Conflict
After thousands of years, the Milky Way is largely colonized. Many civilizations have grown into prominence, and nearly just as many have faded into irrelevance. Among the more recent events has been the conflict between the Aschen Empire and the Terran National Government, currently in a state of armistice in the southwest region of the galaxy.
Travelers are warned to remain vigilant the western portions of the Orion Spur and throughout the Perseus Arm. A map is provided below for your convenience.
The Light of Faith was the religious sect of The 6th Order who joined only due to their devotion to Harashaz, manipulated into joining by Hristofor. They instead chose to incorporate The 6th Order's military discipline into their religious teachings, but swore no allegiance to The Final Order. They had no desire to continue their desires - and instead wished to spread their technology to others...especially The 6th Order's former enemy, The Aschen. Due to their tension with The Final Order, they wished to hinder them by supporting their enemy and help The Aschen crush the remnants of their enemy...
...What remained for the new factions...was tough to tell.
