====== An Updated Map of Focus ======

{{yrw7wau.png|image}}



The word "Focus" may refer to the star itself as well as the system as a whole. "Sol" is used in the same way to refer to humanity's home star and star system. A star with a life-bearing planet is referred to in Claravian circles as a "Hearth Star", which lead to the name "Hearthside" for the closest planet as well as the human designation for the yinrih's star, focus being the Latin word for hearth.



While some of the particulars of how borders work haven't been worked out yet, each polity claims a concentric ring on the ecliptic plane. Focus itself and its immediate environs have a status similar to Antarctica on Earth, as there are treaties preventing any party from seizing control of the star. However, Hearthside has de facto jurisdiction of the area, though nobody outside of Hearthside will admit it.
