Overview
Broadly speaking, the Yawin Corridor is the name for the large and mostly lawless area of space that stretches between the colonial claims of all other Ark species.
Embassy Station is this area's unofficial capital. It is located in the Corridor and its private security fleet guarantees the safety of traffic alongside the busy shipping lanes stretching alongside the edge of the Serine Gap, while they employ adventurers, couriers and salvagers to conduct trade runs to the myriad of small mining or science outposts that operate away from any regulation. The rest of the Corridor is a lawless free-for-all where varied religious groups, merc groups, exiled and outlaw crews, and commercial ventures settle and struggle, free from the yoke of any colonial power. Major factions with vested interest in the Corridor include the Cult of the All-Code, based out of Electra Station, as well as Radiance Station's Order of Solaris. Beyond the Trifecta Nebula and its dangerous warp storms, the Apaxia Charter is a corporate Coalition settlement initiative striving to establish a completely new colonial area on the border of the Circinus Stream. Their venture is funded by the exploration of ancient alien ruins on the world of Apaxia and exploitation rights granted by a board of Coalition corporations both embracing the free market and rejecting restrictive Coalition laws. |

Yawin Planetary Features
The Yawin Corridor isn't all that well charted. Many of its solar systems aren't well exploited, as they often are unclaimed or unprotected, though it is said that freeports and other makeshift atmo facilities often exist on these wretched, lawless and otherwise inhospitable worlds...
