11 Falling Frontier takes place in a future where humanity has spread across the solar system, forming distinct colonial lineages on planets and moons including Earth, Titan, Mars, and Venus, among others. These factions share deep historical ties to Earth but have grown into rival powers with conflicting interests.

33 The Frontier
44  
55 The game takes place in a procedurally generated Frontier system beyond the Sol system. All nine factions are competing to establish a foothold and secure access to the Frontier's abundant resources. The layout of each star system, including its planets, moons, asteroid fields, and nebulae, is generated at the start of each game or campaign.

14+Faster-Than-Light Travel
15+ 
16+Faster-than-light travel in the setting relies on the De Vaar jump drive, a matter-wavelength drive that masks a ship's matter signature as pure energy so it can pass through a temporary wormhole known as a jump conduit. Crews describe the falling sensation of leaving faster-than-light travel as making the fall. Early prototypes of the drive were unstable until the discovery of a material designated Ti-82 allowed ships to survive the stresses of the jump.
17+ 
18+The jump drive is affected by gravity, creating an exclusion zone around planets, moons, and other celestial bodies. A ship must first clear this zone on its standard fusion drives before it can safely jump. Jump fuel takes the form of He3, which ties directly into the game's logistics network: long-range fleets depend on refueling infrastructure, and refueling can become a high-risk moment in battle, because damage during a transfer can ignite the He3 and destroy nearby vessels.
