Belief in a reality is only a figment of an interpreted perception. The world of the TriocracyWhen the entirety of Earth was plunged into literal darkness and chaos in the years following the Cold Boot, humanity reverted to its most base form ... survival of the fittest and strongest.

It’s a setting striated with layers of onion-like parallel realities, both in the virtual world (comprised of the ContinuumThe Continuum is the greater fabric of the Triocracy's alternate reality. Within this Fabric resides the ability for data communication as well as, if rumors are true, the ability for matter transfer ...

Nullspaces, also called Interstitials, represents physical “unrealities” … spacesThe world exists as a near limitless layer of realities, full of wonders and horrors. Beyond the physical reality of Realspace, there reside a multitude of virtual realities within Infinispace as well... More between places. It’s the medium through which ships must navigate to another shell of reality where time moves at either a much slower or accelerated state depending on the shift relative to Shell 0. This allows ships to simulate traveling at FTL speeds and bypass significant expanses of Shell 0 (Triocracy space). See Shellspace for more information.

Nullspace is typically only entered using Warspire assets as they are designed, properly outfitted and trained to deal with all the physical and psychological challenges associated with treading through unreality. Interlopers entering Nullspace without being prepared seldom return, some are often trapped there for eternity.

See the figure below for an abstract representation of the spatial relationship between the 14 known shells of reality and unreality.
