History & Background (Dossier)

The Confederation's Canopus Sector Fleet, in addition to being charged with protection of the sector, is also responsible for defense of Solomani worlds in Ustral Quadrant Sector.

Guardian Military Systems, a diversified manufacturer of weapon systems and heavy military hardware, is notably active in Canopus Sector. It holds 'favoured contractor' status with several world governments, supplying Home Forces with inexpensive but generally good quality weapon systems.

Indigenic Notes

The native Gamopedes were not successfully assimilated into Solomani society: they failed to adapt to a high-technology lifestyle and stopped reproducing altogether.

History: General Overview

No information yet available.

History-Era: Milieu 1100

At least two Terran settlements were established in Canopus by -2204, both far outside the borders of the Terran Confederation. One was located in subsector G, while the other was located in subsector I.

Parts of Canopus were unexplored until the last century and some worlds remain largely unknown. Commercial interest in Magyar and Aldebaran Sector was renewed in the last half-century. Land-hungry Aslan clans from Ustral Quadrant have also attempted to colonize worlds in what is ostensibly Solomani Confederation territory, which has resulted in sporadic border conflicts between Confederation and Aslan Hierate vessels.
