General / Off-Topic Known Space (Niven) the core systems, what it needs to be.

http://www.dennisantinori.com/RingworldRPG/10406/index.html

the core systems needs to be full of people so settled they have no interest or only passing interest, think 'ikea', sorry folks, thats exotic and common, in the rest of the galaxy.

Then, as now, people can live their entire lives within a mile of their home.

This isn't what this game is about, but it needs an element of this.
the dictatorship colonies do express this to a degree.

Known Space in late 29th Century is about 80 light years in diameter with 10,000 stars. This space also includes Human Space as well as neighbouring Alien civilisations. Most of these star systems have never been visited by humans with Human Space itself being about 40 light years in diameter, with 524 stars in 357 systems. This irregularly shaped bubble remains unsettled and inadequately mapped even after centuries of exploration, colonisation and military expansion. There are 30 billion humans alive, of which 10 billion live on the dozen colonies, with Silvereyes being the furthest colony from Earth 21.3 light years).

The scope for adventure in this huge area of space is ripe. A number of remote bases and settlements exist out in the edges of Human Space. Less than 1% of Humanity has travelled from the heavily populated worlds
