The Nursery

Sector ID: 9601 | OL: 15-30 | PvP: No

The name is older than anyone can trace - some say it refers to a Varath gas mining operation that seeded the area with reactor fuel decades ago, leaving behind a sector unusually rich in energy resources. Others say a Meridian scholar called it that once and it stuck, though what she meant by it nobody recorded.

The Nursery is where all three racial paths feed players back into shared content. After the initial Waygate zone, pilots from all races converge here for mid-level work - it's the first sector with meaningful trade route infrastructure, and the Ancient nav marker at the sector's center is one of the few that predates the gate network.

Key features: Energy resource nodes (mining), trade route waystation, Ancient nav marker (Explore XP, Meridian lore), mixed-race population.

Primary XP: All three. Trade missions from the waystation, mining for Explore XP, combat patrols against pirates.

Mobs: Pirate factions (OL 15-28), gas cloud predators (OL 12-25).
