The setting is the Milky Way galaxy in some near future time.  Space travel is possible, though still quite slow.  Warp engines do not exist, though there are a finite number of warp gates that connect planets of the solar system.  No more of these can be built, and the reasons may or may not be discussed on this page.  Earth itself has undergone a series of catastrophes which make living there less than ideal.  Other worlds and moons have been or are being terraformed, and space stations also exist.  Because of the rapid expansion and wide range of possibilities, the setting will have a frontier feel.  This will also lead to a chaotic feel regarding law and law enforcement.
