Assemblage of 1116

During the Imperial Civil War the coreward regions of the Domian of Deneb were invaded by large corsair and freebooting military units from several nearby Vargr states in Gvurrdon, Tuglikki and Provence sectors. Upon notification of Strephon's assassination many neighboring Vargr, already heavily influenced by the Oekhsos tirades, perceived a marvelous opportunity for pillage and conquest in the weakened spinward sectors of the Third Imperium. In Gvurrdon, the Kforuzeng corsairs enjoyed a renaissance of interest and power, and raided heavily into Aramis/Spinward Marches. In Tuglikki, the Assemblage of 1116 formed solely as a military adversary for the Domain of Deneb; its military and allied corsairs inflicted serious losses on the communities and commerce of coreward subsectors in Deneb. But the most traumatic injury was inflicted by Vargr states in Provence: the overrunning of Corridor Sector and the severance of the main lines of contact and commerce between the Domain of Deneb and the main body of the Third Imperium. By 1119 the Denebians were facing entrenched Vargr forces across most of their coreward frontier, and were compelled to abandon many worlds in trailing Deneb.
