Recently found the pathfinder worldscape. Struck with inspiration for a Christmas special and pissed off at myself. Almost my literal reaction.
I'm going to make my own starfinder worldscape! And it's going to have black jack! And hookers!
Backstory!
The traverse is a parallel dimension, seeking warriors and explorers. It calls across space time and dimension. The gods can still be reached and power can be drawn from them, but none have found the traverse. Many have come to colonize the traverse and it's strange worlds. None have found a way out. Technological levels wildly vary depending on those the traverse gathered, archaic to impossible to comprehend, none of the technology was able to intermix or reversed engineered. There's several factions fighting for control of the traverse, good, evil, order, destruction, and just survival.
Faction 1
The Cadre of Nautilus
TN Pirate Fleet
Leader: Captain Nemo aka Prince Dakkar, son of the Raja of Bundelkund

Based on an asteroid designated Vulcania by Nemo himself. The Cadre is a loose association of peoples, renegades, and those who don't conform to the rules of modern society. Founded and lead by Nemo himself, the Cadre is primarily trying to find a way for those trapped in the Traverse to return to their home worlds. Piracy is the primary means of acquiring resources, more out of necessity than anything else. Each of the factions have place plenty of bounties on the Cadre, those of similar goals of returning home tend to turn a blind eye towards the Cadre and even on occasion allied or hired out as privateers. Many of rebel, vagabound, explorer, and wanderer has joined the Cadre if above all else, just trying to find their way home.
Faction 2
The Tenth Circle
NE Demonic Force/System
Leader: Araena Imperatrix and the Chosen
The Traverse cracked the very bowels of the Nine Hells. Tearing a shard of each of the Nine Circles in one long strip. As this strip entered the traverse, small shards of the Circles formed into their own worlds as the main strip is reforged into a hybrid planetoid/sun. Here is where the demonic forces fought for control of this new system. Each of the Circle planets were conquered by their respecting demonic or devil ruler for that particular specialty. It took longer for the new central planet since it has all the circles. After centuries per the Traverse, Araena Imperatrix and it's Chosen warriors conquered the central planet. Deeming it the Tenth Circle and those who follow it's banner. Araena Imperatrix seeks to control the Traverse since the limitations of planar travel and barriers are now null and void. Encountering the other factions such as the Cadre and the Federation. Warriors specializing in demon slaying has also be awoken and has stall the Circle's efforts. But this a challenge that Araena Imperatrix anticipates and is now currently preparing for a all systems assault of the Traverse.
