===== Introduction =====
-----
<WRAP justify>
The Sundala Starzone is a vast expanse located 850 light-years below the galactic elliptical, consisting of a stellar cluster wrapped in a dark cloud of interstellar gas and dust masking what would later be discovered to be numerous habitable star systems within. For while initially it's nature was merely a scientific curiosity and after humanity's final war in the Solar System a scant desperate hope, humankind soon discovered the regions true nature. What we couldn't observe at distance soon became apparent as the arks holding the human species approached the vast cloud. It was a mask, a cloak to hide what lay beyond the veil and the vast dark matter formation humanity hadn't been able to observe from earth. Within the veil, laid out before the eyes of those first settlers, was a vast field of star systems. Systems which were later found to be interlinked with gateways created by a now long gone alien race that would soon be known as the Ozymandians. Each system, clearly curated for a race remarkably similar to humanity in needs and biochemistry, hosted at least one habitable world. Each featuring a already planted common biosphere who's base chemical makeup was compatible with both earth life and humanity.

For the human species, who's entire 'hail mary' venture had been based on a nearly two-century old observation event, it was a salvation and a second chance. While numerous systems with potentially habitable worlds existed near Sol, the simple reality when the survivors of the Last Solar War was none held anything that would support human life. So the twelve million survivors of the human race spread out among the systems, old lines blurred, new societies emerged, and as the centuries ticked by new divisions rose and by the year 2710 A.D. humanity found itself in much the same situation it had on the eve of The Final Sol War. Tensions, mutual hatreds, and even some ancient divisions from Sol all playing into mutual rivalries and hatreds.

Roughly 850 light-years below the galactic elliptical, roughly below the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Arm|Orion Spur]] in a gaseous tendril of of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseus_Arm|Perseus Arm]]. While mostly enclosed in cold dark nebula a few of the systems were open to observation in a freak gravitational lensing event witnessed by Aadrika Sundala, a deep space astronomer stationed near Pluto. Using various techniques she and her team determined the cluster of systems held an unusual number of worlds displaying signs of habitable atmospheres and liquid water. Her discovery would sit off to the side as a curiosity for nearly half a century.

//“Polluted and scoured for carrying the human species for a start, it was still viable for some agriculture and of course dealing with billions of us. Then came the final war, nukes and kinetic bombardment, first burned to embers and then dropped into the deep freeze of an impact nuclear winter. They still managed to evacuate some, their stories preserved for the record. But our pale blue dot is more or less useless for at least the next several thousand years.”//\\
