To both governments embarrassment these refugees have built a vibrant and colourful society under the infuriated noses of the Empire and the Patriarchy. The region of space occupies a region at the edge of Kzinti, Lyraen and Klingon space and is surrounded by a heavily radioactive cloud. Because of this the area was unsettled before the cluster was colonized during the Wars. The radiation shell is thin and can be breached with minimal damage at warp eight. | ||
The interior of the nebulous cluster contains a pair of white dwarf suns and assorted sub-planetary chunks of rock . Life within is harsh, even with imported gravity generators and habitation domes, and Wyn residents adopt a hard no-nonsense approach to life for survival. The colony was originally supplied by Orion traders and pirates, and because of this the residents of the Wyn cluster tend to be treated as either pirates or romantic heroes. In fact, the fortunes of the cluster are based on the skills of its many independent traders and their fleet of second-hand patched-up small craft. | The interior of the nebulous cluster contains a pair of white dwarf suns and assorted sub-planetary chunks of rock .

Since first contact, about 7 years ago, there has, in fact, been genetic analysis that suggests all five races are related. (This is not a topic for polite conversation as Kzinti and | ||

They have the nasty habit of conquering their neighbors and making them slaves to serve their empire. The Woren also have some left-over Sidhe technology -- which they may or may not fully understand -- that allows them to generate wormholes. They seem to be, at least, able to build a bulky, power-intensive wormhole generator of their own design. They have been known to employ it as a weapon on their largest capitol ships. | They have the nasty habit of conquering their neighbors and making them slaves to serve their empire.
