For any player online, you should know what area of space they are in, divided by the current worm hole stations/border defenses.

Grey Space,
UIT Space,
Deneb,
Itan East Expanse,
Geira Rutilus,
Betheshee,
Serco East Expanse.

It would be nice to be able to obtain generalized location information via bribe, though I wouldn't want this implemented until active players goes away.
