The Diaspora

The Diaspora is an asteroid belt formed long before the Gap, when a terrible cataclysm destroyed the twin planets Damiar and Iovo. The remains of the two destroyed worlds float among millions of chunks of rock and ice. Smugglers and pirates hide out in the debris, and native sarcesians glide on shimmering wings between their terraformed crèche worlds. The River Between flows through it, a current of radiant solar energy that serves as both a space highway and spiritual hub for many sarcesians.
