Seems to me, that CoH is a dimensional skerry. That is, a pocket multiverse, consisting of 13 or so "canon" worlds (the live servers, test, and the novel,) various alternate histories/possible futures (Rikti Homeworld, Fifth Column triumphant, Project DESTINY, and the Portal missions,) and the respective mystical planes and pocket dimensions for various supers' powers.
