==The 100 Kingdoms/The Border Empires==
	The 100 kingdoms, or the border empires as they are commonly known, exist because they are convenient. They sit in a narrow crescent between the Empire and the Republic, forming a much needed buffer zone between the two. There are far more than 100 of course, actual estimates place them anywhere from 243, to 2043. An accident of ancient origin, somewhere within the fractured nations, lies the original homeworld, the core system from which Humans sprang. The 1st Empire's throneworld. Each of the 100 kingdoms claims to be that system, or that they hold dominion over that system but none know the truth of the matter. Long lost in time and the terminus wars, the true throneworld of the 1st empire is a much desired phantom.

===Life in the 100 Kingdoms===
	Life in the 100 Kingdoms is as varied and many fold an experience as the full range of human empires and passions can make it. From debased and debauched planets that make the Republic look a model of sanity, to the highest minded ideals of ivory tower intelligentsia writ large, all manner of societies and peoples can be found here.
