| The interior is much larger than 100x100km and could possibly even be infinite. The interior structure has a 1x1km open area directly below the entry point but otherwise is completely enclosed in winding tunnels and rooms. Expeditions have reached a maximum depth of 250km and a maximum horizontal distance of 1,650km. | The interior is much larger than 100x100km and could possibly even be infinite.

| - | Navigation within The Cube is complicated by the fact that the tunnels and rooms seem to have non-euclidean properties. Doors and passageways that should lead to the same room often times do not. Navigation is thus stored as a list left, right, straight, up, and down orders as opposed to a traditional map. The interior occasionally shifts, rendering pre-explored instructions obsolete. To combat this, an array of self correcting of beacons have been deployed throughout most of the safe zone. | + | Navigation within The Cube is complicated by the fact that the tunnels and rooms seem to have non-euclidean properties.

| - | The Green Zone is typically defined as the area between 7-89km. The zone contains uncountable numbers of distinct lifeforms living and competing with each other for resources. These lifeforms vary greatly and contain carbon based, digital, energy based, and even extradimensional beings. | + | The Green Zone is typically defined as the area between 7-89km.

| The various biospheres are connected by corridors similar in design to the ones from the Safe Zone but are often overgrown with vegetation. The biospheres themselves are literal colossal spheres containing an engineered and climate controlled environment. Many biospheres contain toxic atmospheres, | The various biospheres are connected by corridors similar in design to the ones from the Safe Zone but are often overgrown with vegetation.

| Sitting at 100km is Forward Operating Base Nullfront. It is a large, spatially anchored base which acts as the entry point into the Null Zone. The base is suspended above empty space and can only be reached through the main highway or by air transport. The null anchors used to protect the base also seem to provide an anti-gravity effect, allowing the base to remain in place without any supports. | Sitting at 100km is Forward Operating Base Nullfront.
