Ward-Snow

Ward-Snow

Ward-Snow sits at HIP 36834, profile D5A1114-A: mixed, quarantine, charted. The system belongs to Karthunai Republic. That fact does not wobble because the route crosses somebody else's customs desk. Medical blockade markers and black-market runners surround Ward-Snow. Republic officials, relief crews, and local authority need corridor terms before sickness and smuggling feed each other.

The route is Khesret → Sol → Alpha Centauri → Lacera → Karth → Pass-Forge → Ward-Snow. Local authority grows from Karthunai Republic law and history; Concord's role begins at gate registry and stops well short of casually owning the people beyond it. The quarantine has a real medical basis and a corrupt exemption market. Lifting it outright is reckless; sealing it harder kills patients. The work is corridor law, inspection, and monitored relief.

The system's playable center is White Corridor Parley Station. antiseptic steam, frost on visor rims, mane wraps sealed under medical hoods, and relief pilots arguing in low voices beside red quarantine lamps. This is a place where signatures carry consequences. Negotiate a timed medical corridor, neutral screening, runner amnesty for declared patients, and enforceable triggers for tightening or lifting the blockade.
