The Echelon Expanse was conceived in secret during the fervent expansion of the Red Sun Dominion. Conceived as a covert port for the elite, it was commissioned using substantial resources and skilled labor provided by the local Meristine workforce under the guise of a Dominion infrastructure project. Only a select few were privy to its true nature, a dual-purpose design that mixed opulence with deliberate obscurity for the discreet arrival and departure of powerful Dominion VIPs.

Over the decades, the Expanse evolved into a prime landing zone where transactions of questionable legality were conducted, even defying the Dominion’s own harsh laws. Clandestine meetings, the trade of rare banned commodities, and the transfer of influence, power, and secrets all took place under the radar, shrouded in mystery and whispered about in the shadows of the galaxy. This tightly controlled nexus continues to be a magnet for those trading in the extraordinary, forever imprinted in the secret history of the Red Sun Dominion.
