Orbital
Saltire
A human far-side colony — on the far side of the Lantern's fold — that is marooned if the lane closes (cut off from medicine, migration, family). Its people have their own dialect and frontier ways. The human face of "who gets marooned if the door shuts".
Type

Nation

Founded
golden-age expansion era
Position
Canon has not established a position
Classification
Human far-side frontier colony; dependent on the Lantern lane for crossing access.
Population
Human far-side colonists (own dialect, own frontier ways). Named: Oru — colonist witness (file pending).
Canon has not fixed this place in space, so the archive does not invent a coordinate for it. It appears in the gazetteer as unplaced rather than on the star map as a guess.
On the record
- Far-side colonists transit the Lantern crossing before the window closes; the crackdown / failing lane threatens to strand them.
- Oru witnessed the pre-sabotage anomaly (the junction misbehaving / the over-push) — the clue.
