The geopolitical landscape surrounding the Northern Neighbor is dominated by the rivalry between the Orylian Federation and the Ulmarka Empire, a sovereign state spanning over three million square kilometers within the system.^[7] Ulmarka's territory is divided into four provinces, including the Northern Province of Northern District of Vorst and the Western Province of Provincia Agraria, which manage resources critical to maintaining stability near the extraterrestrial border.^[8] Tensions have occasionally escalated into conflicts such as the First Orylian War and the Second Orylian War, driven by disputes over resource extraction in areas adjacent to the shifting northern frontier.^[9]

The Krylos Industrial Complex

Within the city of Sylvaris, the Krylos Fabrication Zone operates as one of three primary manufacturing centers for the "Krylos" series of drones used by the government.^[10] These autonomous units play a vital role in monitoring public order and patrolling regions that extend toward the volatile edges of the Northern Neighbor.^[11] The facility includes underground connections to the Sylvaris Metro Network, facilitating the rapid transport of components and finished goods across the federation.^[12] However, the complex has been a target for sabotage, notably during the 2049 Sylvaris Transit Corridor Bombing, which disrupted supply chains essential for drone production.^[13]
