A home base exists in both, in one it's one of two kingdoms, in space, it's any of several homeworlds, or their ship.

The tech level and how far the locations are away from each other in game space is irrelevant in terms of scope.
Bronze Age Alexander the great is a quest/line campaign that all but covers the known world. Ghengis Khan or Christopher Colombus campaigns are all about travel at low tech levels while a TL 8-12 detective story might not leave its home town.
Equally a game set on a space station where Earth is only 24 hours away, but the players rarely go there is a point campaign. That's whether its THS in an orbital campaign or TL ^12.
