#

# changes systems explored from then on, never ones already in a save.
#
# Every number here is a first draft.

# Who holds every explored system (docs/empire.md): a factions.toml row. Its
# bands (bands.toml `faction`) keep the hideouts, and its garrison for the
# system's top tier guards the planet.
