Move wiki from docs/wiki/ to root wiki/. Add 14 category templates with YAML frontmatter, governance model, hierarchical spatial structure (system > station > district > location). Populate Krenn System entry as first concrete star system. Update cross-references in workshop and sprint docs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# The Settled Reach — Game Wiki
|
|
|
|
**Project:** The Settled Reach (top-down immersive sim)
|
|
**Setting:** Original IP, Commonwealth-inspired
|
|
**v0.1 Vertical Slice:** Sova Transit District, Krenn System
|
|
**Purpose:** Canonical reference for all content, mechanics, and worldbuilding
|
|
|
|
## How to Use This Wiki
|
|
|
|
This wiki serves three audiences:
|
|
|
|
1. **Content creators** (writers, designers): Use this as source material for dialogue, monologue, NPC profiles, and environmental text. All entries marked `canonical` are setting truth.
|
|
2. **System implementers** (engineers): Reference this for mechanical integration points — knowledge graph flags, perception modes, faction mechanics.
|
|
3. **The team** (everyone): Cross-reference between decisions (`decisions/*.md`) and implementation. The wiki is WHERE, decisions are WHY.
|
|
|
|
**Cross-reference format:** Wiki entries link to decision documents where relevant. Example: Neural lattice tiers implement D-017 (perception modes as character build).
|
|
|
|
**Status levels:** `canonical` (confirmed), `draft` (in review), `proposed` (under consideration). Only use canonical entries as truth. See [GOVERNANCE.md](GOVERNANCE.md) for full contribution rules.

## Quick Reference
|
|
|
|
**v0.1 Scope:** 1 star system, 1 station, 1 district, 3 social sites, 18 NPCs, 5 triangles, 2 playable characters (smuggler + detective)
|
|
|
|
**Setting mood:** Quotidian-with-undertow — comfortable enough to be complacent, tight enough that extra income is tempting
|
|
|
|
**Core contraband:** Unlicensed lattice components (aftermarket neural mods bypassing Commission regulation)
|
|
|
|
**Primary tension:** Economic pressure creates rational incentive for smuggling; community benefits from grey economy; detective enters a place where non-cooperation is self-interest, not malice
|
|
|
|
**Key design principle:** Same world, two lenses — the smuggler's home is the detective's crime scene

## Templates & Governance
|
|
|
|
All wiki entries use YAML frontmatter and follow category-specific templates. See:
|
|
|
|
- [GOVERNANCE.md](GOVERNANCE.md) — Ownership, status lifecycle, contribution rules
|
|
- [_templates/](_templates/) — One template per category (11 categories + 3 spatial types)
|
|
|
|
**Categories:** `star-system`, `station`, `district`, `location`, `character`, `faction`, `technology`, `cultural-group`, `contraband`, `institution`, `species`, `lore`, `concept`, `triangle`
