==The Sol Sector==
Without a doubt, the stars closest to our own would be the most heavily colonized as before the advent of warp drive in 10k humanity was already colonizing space. With sub-light engines, humanity could easily have heavily colonize the sounding space.
In the local bubble I am going to say that humanity has 100 ‘active’ settlements with hundreds more formal colonized but were destroyed or abandoned by our current events.
Additionally, there are another 50 or so active alien settlements / home worlds.
---Human Nations of the TERRAN SECTOR---
One of the main goal will be to reclaim lost human worlds. Here are a few Ideas I plagiarised to give some flavour to the varies entities.
For those who are note familiar; all of these nations have been lifted from Battletech from one era or another. They will not however be one for one comparison. Although I think I will have the main inner sphere house as Knight worlds
Human culture in the Terran Sector
Core Worlds of Humanity; - atomic punk, Trek, + post-apocalypse
Martian Technocracy
Mars and the tech machanicas, one of the largest empires. Cyber cult, has many colonies and outpost scattered though out space.
Saturnian Ordo
The Saturnian Ordo live further out around the larger moons of Saturn. Byzantine
Saturnian Ringer
The Ringers live primarily around the rings, thus the title. Mediteranea / Turkish flavour.
"THE HOST" and or "Space Cannibals of the Terran Sphere"
Who they are: Space Cannibals – “the red host” semi-cult group of Ghouls/vampires mutants, they have long lost the statues as human beings for their actions against their own species.
What they do: travels from world to world harvesting humans for food and other foul purposes. they very rarely put down planetary roots preferring void live and nomadic livelihood. The members of the Host worship their ship navigators as a holy priests. The Priest, often the leaders of a host, have been driven mad by the warp. Sometimes fighting amongst themselves, there are actually several dozen factions but too outsider observers; they are virtually unrecognizable.
How they came to be; legend has it that those that have entered the warp storm are driven mad by the chaos of the void. These souls are driven mad with violence. Cutting themselves and tearing away at their own flesh, they become more beast than men. The saner among them are given positions of leadership and drive the host towards violent raiding of others.
Enemies and allies: the host are most often raiders and bandits, and thus they have many enemies and few friends. The friends they do have are allies of convenience
where they can be found: their ships can be found throughout the Terran Sphere.
