The known wildspace systems that have any contact with the Rock of Bral are all aligned with the divine and infernal powers of Greek mythology.
Humans
Humans in the known systems are all ultimately descended from the inhabitants of the ancient world of Kobol. From there, Humans learned about spelljamming, and spread to twelve colonies, each of which has its own culture. The twelve colonies are currently engaged in a war against a neighboring system ruled by a mysterious empire of Warforged warriors.
