 ====== Entities ======
-Players are allowed to create, and manage, settings-within-the-setting that we call **"Shards"**. So long as it doesn't impact the broader universe or break site rules, Shards can do or be just about anything.
+Entities are organized groups that operate outside of Shards, who wield no Influence((a strange power that imposes the rules of one's own territory in places outside of it)) or rely on the Influence of others. They could be a sector-wide power, a prominent corporation, or something else entirely.
-The space a Shard is allowed on the map is limited to three systems, although its influence may be further reaching. Within a Shard, the player/s in control of the Shard have the final say on what is allowed((assuming Staff don't need to intervene)).
+Entities (as we treat them on the wiki) are //not// singular characters, no matter how far their powers might extend. Likewise, organizations who operate within a shard are not considered entities.
-If you're looking for a Shard, check the Sidebar to the left.
+As entities are //not// Shards, they do not have a Shard's usual protections - any territories they control must be held by force, diplomacy, or secrecy.
 ===== Influence =====
-Each Shard has its own fundamental laws that dictate the strength of the forces within, such as magic, technology, divinity, and so on. Characters and objects within that Shard must follow its laws. When they leave the Shard, they take the influence of those laws with them. So long as they do not enter another Shard, the laws will stay true, providing a consistent experience for characters (and players!) as they explore the universe - no matter their means of transportation.
+Entities do not have Influence of their own and operate within the rules of the Calliope Sector ((a more or less standard space setting that follows the same rules as our universe OOC)) or within the rules of the Influence they have borrowed.
+===== Entity Canon =====
-===== History =====
+While Entities aren't Shards, they still follow similar canon rules. So long as they don't impact the broader setting, no staff approval or involvement is typically required.
-Optional. Example of a sub-category.
