Fornast Sector is an old core sector of the Imperium, originally colonized by the Vilani during the time of the Ziru Sirka.

Description

Although Fornast is an important location, sophontologists have not discovered large, vibrant socio-polities. There are three primary theories regarding this apparent cultural anomaly:

• The Ziru Sirka destroyed the region's interstellar cultures and suppressed the information.
• The Sylean Federation destroyed the region's cultures and suppressed the information.
• The region's cultures went underground and have formed very subtle crypto-cultures.

Whatever the status of interstellar culture in the region, interstellar trade is booming and is expected to grow exponentially in the coming decades as trailing space is developed.

Politics & Diplomacy (Interstellar Relations)

Except for the Syleans and Luriani, the area is curiously devoid of significant polities. This baffles cultural sophontologists and doesn't match up with trend analysis or predictive heuristics. Fornast has no native surviving Minor Human Races and relatively few cultural regions.

Driving this interstellar trade are 65 Agricultural (Ag) worlds, 49 Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, 52 Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, 56 Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, 42 Rich (Ri) worlds, and 21 Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Fornast maintain 34 Naval bases, 22 Scout bases, five Way stations, and one Naval depot. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 6 and 12). The highest technology level is 16 at Gannvair (Fornast 3206).
