| The '''Orion Arm''', also known as the '''Orion Region''', '''Local Arm''', or '''Orion Spur''', is the colloquial title given to the extent of human exploration and settlement across interstellar space. Though its name derives from the Orion-Cygnus Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, it denotes just a small segment of the spiral arm proper. In a broader context, it serves as a shorthand for referring to the human civilization as a whole. | | The '''Orion Arm''', also known as the '''Orion Region''', '''Local Arm''', or '''Orion Spur''', is the common designation for the extent of human exploration and settlement across interstellar space. The name derives from the Orion–Cygnus Arm of the [[Milky Way Galaxy]], though it refers only to a small segment of that spiral structure encompassing several tens of thousands of stars. Most remain barren and uncharted, but [[Earth]]’s location in a rare concentration of habitable worlds has supported the rise of [[Astropolitics|hundreds of nations]] across thousands of settled systems. Interstellar civilization depends on '''[[Translight|translight lanes]]''', naturally occurring features of spacetime that permit faster-than-light passage between gravity wells. In modern usage, “''Orion Arm''” often serves as shorthand for human civilization itself. |

| | The outer regions of the Orion Arm are known collectively as the [[Frontier]], with the most remote limits of exploration and settlement described as the [[Far Frontier]]. Compared to the core regions, systems in the Frontier remain less integrated, with development and infrastructure occurring unevenly and conditions often marked by patches of lawlessness. |

| | [[Exobiotic Life|Exobiotic life]] throughout the Orion Arm is consistently evolutionarily simple compared to Terran species, leading to the eradication of native ecosystems during most terraforming operations. [[Hybrid Animal|Hybrid animals]] represent an unexpected consequence, species from Earth that have adapted to alien environments in ways that can dramatically alter physiology and behavior. Conditions in the Frontier differ, with fewer habitable worlds but more complex native exospecies. As of 2285, only [[Khar-Sha’yun Civilization|one instance of sentient extraterrestrial life]] has been discovered, located in the Far Frontier and primitive relative to humanity, incapable of interstellar travel. |
