Free Townships

Originally off-world research and industrial facilities established primarily by the Guild Brotherhood, these space colonies are scattered throughout the solar system and neighboring stars. Over the centuries they developed into thriving communities, attracting entrepreneurs from all walks of life.

The Free Townships campaigned and won status as independent democratic states. The Free Townships are forging the exploration of space. The emerging space-borne identity aligns itself less with traditional familial customs with each passing generation. Divisions over gender, class, blood obligation and House affiliation are perceived as less significant.
