History

The Heathen Stars are commonly referred to in the Expanse as the “Edge of the Galaxy”. While this title might more accurately be applied to the Rifts of Hecaton or the Unbeholden Reaches, it is certain tha tthis area of space is as far from the concept of Imperial space as one could be used to.

In The Foundling Worlds lay the bones of countless failed endeavours, in Winterscale’s Realm sits the burgeoning industry of trade and deceit and in the Ragged Worlds are planets that have their wealth almost tapped out. However, it is in the Heathen Stars that human empires openly worship something other than the God-Emperor, that great technological cities lie unclaimed and the lost tribes of mankind war amongst each other in the name of their false beliefs.
