"The wide, wild frontier. A sunless domain, but impossibly verdant – with gargantuan vines, cathedral-sized bronzewoods, and livid fungal archipelagos."

The Reach is the vast frontier of the High Wilderness that lies beyond the bounds of Albion, the British Empire's spacefaring domain in the 20th century.

The Final Frontier

Perhaps the only Sunless Sky, the Reach's Judgement died long ago. With its death, the plants of the Reach have grown wild, making the Reach a crowded and claustrophobic region of space. However, the plants of the reach emit a form of bioluminescence, keeping the region well-lit regardless.

While the Empire 's great trading companies - Murgatroyd's, the Windward Company, and Leadbeater & Stainrod - seek to exploit the Reach's vast natural wealth, rebellious settlers have begun banding together and agitating for independence. This resulted in a divide between the Stovepipes, who seek to tame the Reach and bring it under Imperial control, and the Tacketies, who fervently oppose them. The Reach's main hub, New Winchester, is a hotbed of politcal intrigue and conflict between these factions. The Reach is linked to the rest of space via the Singh-Jenkins transit relay, an accelerator of sorts that transports locomotives "via a loophole in some cosmic mandate." Notably, the Reach is the only region to link to the other three.
