Large eastern portion of the galaxy composed of the following regions: The Kalevala Expanse, Etherium Reach, The Spire, Cobalt Edge, Oasa, Malpais, Outer Passage and Perrigen Falls. The entire area were both directly and indirectly controlled by Legion of xXDeathXx, SOLAR FLEET, and Red Alliance, the three were collectively known as the Drone Russians or Drone Russian Forces.
After internal drama, both Solar Fleet and Red Alliance split off and ended up elsewhere. (As of 2019, Red Alliance is living in Period Basis in the galactic south). Solar Fleet has pretty much died in 2018.
XiX ruled the Drone Regions for a long while, along with a bunch of varied other minor alliances. Their coalition was called the Drone Region Federation.
In 2018, XiX got evicted from the Drone Regions by a collection of pvp alliances and wormholes, most notably Skill Urself, v0lta and Hard Knocks.
XiX ended up in the south, crashing on Legacys couch.
