Fiction:Graywinds Galaxy

The Graywinds Galaxy, named The Silver Daughter, derives its name from a larger gray galaxy nearby. The Silver Daughter was once plagued by some catastrophe many years ago which rendered many large stretches of space uninhabitable and unapproachable, civilization is spread out in sectors randomly dotting the edge and middle areas of the galaxy, normally consisting of loose confederations of planets governed ruled by large nations that force others into vassalage through fear or more commonly, trading benefits. The only other inhabited areas are space stations lining commonly traveled trade routes.
