The Worlds of the Vast Frontier

Humans have been cataloguing stars and discovering new worlds long before they even developed the technology to leave their home system of Sol. The “stellar neighborhood” is a spherical region of space which encompasses all of the stars within 30 light years of Earth.  By the early 23rd century, this […]
