Far Shore is a semi-independent planet settled by various parties and one of the key hubs of the Pleiades Corridor. Located within the Hades Gulf, it is part of the Pleiades Corridor Joint-Occupation Zone. Having its beginnings in a secondary Covenant supply depot which quickly became a trading outpost after the war, the arid world now houses a rapidly-increasing number of settlements and port cities from different groups and interests from both sides of the Hades Gulf. Its orbit and surrounding space are littered with small stations and outposts each hoping to get their share of the business opportunities offered by the area - something that has not gone unnoticed by human corporations or ex-Covenant factions and mercantile consortia operating within the Siakar Expanse and beyond. However, for every success story, there are a hundred dashed hopes and dreams, and those unfortunate enough to be counted among the latter now wander aimlessly across Far Shore and its immediate neighborhood, finding various odd jobs not always on the right side of the law. And though it is one of the best-patrolled regions of the Gulf, crime and general lawlessness still abound.
