Imperial Geographic - special issue may 2955

I’ve often said that every journey through the ‘Verse begins with a question.

This time, the question was simple: what happens when we leave a place behind ?

Pyro isn’t just lawless space. It’s what remains when law walks away. It’s the echoes of abandoned dreams, the scorch marks of ambition turned to ash. It’s the sound a system makes when it’s forced to survive without help — or hope.

At Imperial Geographic, we’ve spent years chasing the light: culture, beauty, exploration.

But Pyro? Pyro is different. It’s the shadow cast by that light — raw, dangerous, magnetic. A place where survival is its own kind of truth. And yet, even here, among wrecks and warlords, life finds a way. People adapt. They trade safety for freedom, order for opportunity. They build homes in forgotten places. They tell stories no one else dares to hear.

As the UEE braces for deeper tensions and the specter of conflict looms once more, Pyro may prove to be more than a lawless void. It might be a mirror. A warning. Or perhaps… a glimpse of what comes next.

This issue isn’t about romanticizing the ruins. It’s about understanding them. Listening to those who live on the edge — and finding out why they stay.

We tell the ‘Verse, one story at a time and this time, the story is Pyro.
