The Outermark
Nothing is known of the Outermark save rumors that it's inhabited by alien creatures. Well, and also a rumor that fantastical stories occasionally happen here.
It is said that the Outermark is a somewhat isolated continent shaped like Africa... if Africa had been allowed to sit in the back of your refrigerator for so long that, by the time you discovered it and fished tongs out of a drawer to peel it from the shelf, it had not only grown mold but also a colony of mushrooms on the verge of manned space flight.
The Outermark is where all the weirdness of space turns up. If you have never used the phrase, Dear God, what is that thing? in your life, chances are high that you will use it your first hour in The Outermark. At least seven times. And not because you've stepped in something (or been stepped on by something) but because there are things living here that no human being should ever behold.
Ah, but that which has been seen can not be unseen. These things need to be seen. It's the unseen shit that'll make you into its breakfast. Stay frosty, my friends.
Most of the sophont life in The Outermark is imported. Xeno this, and xeno that. Hey, we're all just trying to eek out a life here. I recommend you don't get too trigger happy just because something looks like a Big Bad. Look in the mirror, bald ape - you're a Big Bad yourself.
The Outermark is divided into two primary sections: the Green Stuff up north and the Red Stuff down south. The Red Stuff is scrubby and stunted and smells like the bottom of a taco barrel that's been left in the sun too long. The Greet Stuff is dense with vegetation, contains a bunch of wildlife, and has scattered settlements peppering it. These settlements aren't always the friendliest of places, although there are one or two that sport a decent pub and offer cable TV.
