Description
Describe the region in detail. Provide descriptions on the overal style or theme of the region. History and significant events, heppenings, people, and locations are all valid content.

Towns and outposts
List all known towns and outposts in this region. The town should be listed first, followed by an alphabetical listing of outposts. Mark the town as either a "(town)" or a "(port)".

Group mission outposts and arena outposts in separate lists. Sort these alphabetically too. Do take note that most of these have disambiguation identifiers to their article names; avoid accidentally linking to a mission article instead.

Missions
List all known missions that take place in this region. Order or sort these missions by storyline. This is the only section where the sorting is not done alphabetically. In cases where several missions occupy the same timeline in a storyline plot (such as the Nightfall campaign), then sort them alphabetically.

Group challenge missions and elite missions separately.

Arenas
List the known arenas in this region.

Explorable areas
List all the explorable areas found in this region alphabetically. Do be aware that some of these have disambiguation identifiers to their article names; avoid accidentally linking to a mission article instead.

Landmarks
List all the notable landmarks and points of interest in the region. This will likely be a compilation of all the known landmarks in all the locations within this region.

Trivia
Trivia information regarding this region should be grouped here.
