: I think the main difference is that in the age of the Araminta novels, the Beyond with all its rampant crime has been completely disappeared, probably absorbed into the Oikumene.
Remember this something like this from the Killing Machine? :
"Bah! One day we'll sweep across the Pale and seize the Beyond!"
"Aha, but there will always be a Beyond ......".
Probably true enough, considering in one of the (I think) Araminta books there was a line stating that "... humanity had colonised a barely perceptible percentage of the galaxy".
