Oh, right, as to one of your other points, "known space" in the UF universe doesn't encompass the entire galaxy, as it does in Star Wars. It is essentially confined to a single spiral arm of this galaxy. The Outer Rim Territories are at the far end of the arm and curving back along the "back edge" of the bend in it, so to speak; the Coreward Frontier, representing as far as modern explorers have cared to press on toward the galactic core, is about seven-eighths of the way "down" the arm toward the center; and it's bounded on either side by the gaps between this arm and the neighboring ones. In universal terms it's a vanishingly small area.
