Pardus Sector
Orbit of Pardus IV, 'Chored'.
Centuries ago the Pardus sector had no habitable bodies, and the early colonists from Lowe-Pike had set about the lengthy process of terraforming that would make Chored habitable. For all of that time, it was a backwater of little value on the edge of Terran space, barely even a passing point for explorers due to the sheer distance to any rimward stars.
These days Chored, and its orbital space station The Redwood are hotbeds of Corporate activity, in more ways than one. The surface of Chored is contested by every active Corporation in the sector, and even some from outside. Mercenaries come and go, serving tours of duty for one side or the other, or even more than one on occasion. While the station is technically under Lowe-Pike's control, every month more sections seem to be leased out to someone else- GDAM in particular seeming to come out on top more often than not.
Chored's distant moons, Gaieon and Etapa, flit through the void and travelers to and from those destinations similarly often stop through The Redwood to resupply, rest, or head elsewhere.
All in all it is the busiest area of Pardus, and dangerous for anyone regardless of what side they've chosen.
