Worlds can have anywhere between caveman tech to early Star Trek tech minus transports and different warp drives. Space travel is done by jump drives which allow ships to travel through hyper space. Travel in hyperspace takes one week.  For each jump number on the drive of ship, the ship can travel one parsec. Hyperspace is not fully understood and while in hyper the ship is in a jump universe which is 2 to 3 meters larger than the ship. Think of the Earth around the eighteen fifties which regard to news and travel and civilization. The Imperium controls space so you don’t have too. Basically all the Imperium carries about is you don’t mess with their troops, free travel through space is guaranteed, and expanding the Imperium.  The Imperium has enemies. The K’KREE is a race of centaur creatures that hate meat eaters but not currently involved in a shooting war. The Hivers are race walking thinking starfish who are psionic and known for tricking humans. The Solomani Empire of humans with head in Sol. The x human psionics a few domains spin ward of Gateway. The Droyne are bird like race with pocket empires.Directions if you looking a map are the following. North is Coreward (to the center of galaxy). West is Spinward (follow the spin of the galaxy). East is Trailing. South is Rimward. Domains are broken down in four sectors which are four sheets of regular one inch hex maps number A, B, C, D. A is above C and to left of B. D is below B and right of C. Each sector is broken down to sixteen subsectors.Gateway is the most Trailing part of Imperium and it only really controls the two Spinward sectors. All the others sectors are either controlled by other empires or just have free worlds. It is now 993 of the Third Imperium.  Current location of players boarding the Q-Bert 3 in orbit of Pokka (L-2627 Crucis Margin, Gateway Domain) which is part of ‘The Reach’ pocket empire. This is only Imperium allied worlds in this sector.The extras.Crew of Bert 3 Captain Eddie Smith, Lt Piero Calamai, Pilot Billy TurnerHead Engineer Tommy Pickles Andrews, Doctor J. H.
