The Selvat Spur
Even in a space virtually limitless in size, there always seems to be a single point in which every hero has their moment, every great evil must arise, and where the gods and overseers of existence congregate and do battle.
In an insignificant looking galaxy, nestled beyond the vast Vulkate Strait, species began to take to the stars, as has happened to millions of species before them.
They began to colonize, improve, make mistakes, and learn quickly as they fought tooth and nail against unseen and exotic dangers hiding amongst the unknown.
They expanded their reach to thousands of worlds, conquering star system after star system without a thought for what lay beyond the reaches of their society.
They saw the stars stretch out before them and, species by species, made a promise to explore every single one.
With this purpose they claimed their territory and named it “Selvat” after the ancient Wanderer word for “Salvation”.
Amongst the vast emptiness of space, The Selvat Spur stands out as a symbol of prosperity and power.
Home to the species and peoples of The Starskippers Handbook, it is used to describe the collection of known and foreign planets in the Galaxy.
The known star systems of Selvat number in the tens or hundreds of thousands, with thousands of populated planets to house the bulk of society.
Even though this grand expansion counts as less than 3% of the entire Galaxy, they provide ample space for the ever expanding nature of civilization in its current form.
Countless worlds make up the Selvat Spur
