An overview of man-made items in the setting.

Things that stay relatively put are broken down into several categories:

Arcologies are massive, self-sustaining integrated with the biosphere of a world, such as Earth or Mars.
Groundbases on various installations on the surface of a hostile world, such as Mercury, Luna or any number of rocks.
Lagrange bases are large bases that hover at the lagrange points of various orbital bodies.
Skybases are giant airships of various types, hovering in the atmospheres of Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Starbases either orbit a star or planetary body, serving one purpose or another.
Stellar gates, sometimes simply called stargates, facilitate rapid transportation between star systems.

Vessels also have several categories
- Drones are not-quite-sentient vessels that serve a wide variety of purposes.
- Ships have several major subcategories.
- Vehicles are planet-based transportation machines of various sorts.
