The frontier planets in the South are constantly under pirate threat.Major planets: New Britain, New Holland, Rand, Bounty, Gemstone.Their economies are largely agricultural. Many of the planets inhabited here are recently settled and unpopulated, and are very poor and unindustrialised as a result. The Dirt Belt is a wide arc of systems running south to west of the planets near Earth.Major planets: Moonshake, Hephaestus, Foundry, Maker, Buccaneer Bay.There are major enclaves of pirates in the northeast and southeast of the Core. The Syndicate holds a lot of power in Parliament and has considerable autonomy to act on its own they provide massive tax revenue and billions of jobs for the Republic, and were one of the reasons for the Republic's 'golden age' a century before Endless Sky's events. The Core, a large group of both resource-rich and highly populated planets to the east and northeast of Earth, is administered by the Syndicate megacorporation.Major planets: Prime, Shroud, Freedom, Sunracer, Haven.The sector also includes a large collective of anarchist planets. Inhabited planets are sparce here, and those planets that are settled generally have low populations. The Far North consists of a few planets north of the Core and the Paradise Planets.Major planets: Hestia, Follower, Glory, Martini, Geminus.It is very rare to see pirates of any sort here. These planets also have systemic levels of income inequality some of their economies are built on the back of castes of indentured servants. While not highly populated, they contribute a lot of tax to Parliament, and have a very xenophobic attitude to the rest of the galaxy. The Paradise Planets north of Earth are the richest of all planets in the Republic, and many of their planets are highly terraformed to have a perfect climate.Major planets: Earth, Chiron, New China, Reunion, Millrace.While pirates are generally rare in these systems, crime is meant to be quite high on some planets. With tens of billions of inhabitants, these planets need a constant supply of food. The Near Earth planets are some of the most populated (and impoverished) planets of humanity.There are very visible wealth gaps between the richer and poorer regions. The Republic is made of many distinct regions, with their own cultures and attributes. The events that occur as a result make up the main storyline of Endless Sky. The Southern Mutual Defense Pact was formed between planets in the Rim and southwest to help combat the increased pirate threat, and would later secede from the Republic to become the Free Worlds. As a result, the Navy is now stretched thin around the edges of Human space.ĭue to their lack of representation, the taxation model of the Republic, and drop in pirate patrols, planets in the Dirt Belt, Rim and South are unhappy with the Republic's governance. The Paradise Planets see the Navy as their own personal defense force, and redirect Navy pirate patrols to guard their own territory. The space forces of the Republic are the Navy, who patrol and protect the Republic from threats like pirates, dissidents, or potential alien invasions. Representation in the Parliament is based on population, resulting in large and rich planets dominating the Parliament with many representatives, while entire sectors of less populated planets may only have one representative. Initially made up of a small group of planets around Earth, down to the South and the Rim, it gradually grew and expanded to include the Syndicate systems in the Core, and the richer sectors of Human space, the Paradise Planets and the Deep.Ĭontrolling the Republic is Parliament, made up of representatives from all over the galaxy. The Republic is the main governing body of Human space at the start of Endless Sky.
