Blue Sun is truly the frontier of the 'Verse. These worlds were among the last to be terraformed and some (New Omaha, Muir) are in the finishing stages. Alliance patrols and law are rare here, and what exists is likely to be disgraced, corrupt or uncaring. Piracy and slave trading abounds. It is also the heart of Reaver territory, if you believe in those stories…
