Outer Reach

Outer Reach is a planet that was settled by Dralasites. Where Inner Reach was settled to contemplate the 'self' Outer Reach was settled to contemplate concepts beyond the self. The population has become very diverse after contact with the UPF and in the process became crime riddled. Outer Reach was never very tranquil to begin with, being a world largely of rocks which now serve as a source for the mining industry. Outer Reach has in a sense evolved from contemplation of the world around to exploration of it socially with a very lenient take on social limitations so those at Outer Reach can interact with 'other selves' to explore society. Due to the lax laws in Outer Reach criminals from other worlds flock to it to do things they cannot on other worlds- they go there to build self aware machines, to gamble, to hold death matches, and more. A person can't be too careful on Outer Reach- there are not many state protections in place with defense of one's self, and one's own destiny being in one's own hands with only the other selves to contend with. It's not total anarchy but it's close; government largely existing to protect the individual liberties of those on Outer Reach with a strong favoring of freedom over security. The philosophy that dominates this planet deems that it's not in an individual's interest that the government be powerful as said power will always shift and thus can be used against the aims the power was consolidated towards. While it's possible to find someone who will accept any currency here most prefer physical currency as it's a currency individuals can have direct instead of indirect control over- the system that has the least oversight looming over an individual. People who grow tired or disenchanted with these freedoms can go elsewhere- some traveling to Inner Reach to get away from the world and really think about who they are rather then external pressures.
