Subsector J of the Vanguard Reaches Sector.

Description (Specifications)

Four Corners strikes many as an odd name for this subsector, which has only 10 systems, nine of them located across the centre region. It is, however, one of four central subsectors in the Vanguard Reaches.

This subsector was mostly bypassed during settlement, with ambitious settlers pushing on to better worlds in Yavakrbi Subsector. It has only 53 million inhabitants, most residing in the six-world Hejaz Cluster, which is dominated by the local power, Hoganas. A tenuous trade link between the Diadem and the Zhodani Colonnade Province is dependent upon Hoganas' forbearance, although any attempt to stifle or control the route would likely be met with force by the Zhodani and the Diadem Trade League.
