[[Dagudashaag Sector|Dagudashaag (dah-guh-dah-shag)]] is a corruption and contraction of the Old High Vilani term for the region - Dakhukuga Gulike Dushaage, which means ''Rimward Galactic Province.'' This term refers to the sector's astrographical position, relative to [[Vland Sector]].
 
== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
[[System]]s in this [[sector]] bear the traces of many waves of settlement and occupation over the life of the [[Galaxy]]. Several indigenous species originated in the sector and it was further colonized by outside sophonts. The [[Vilani]] moved in and dominated the astrographic region until they were, in turn, dominated by the [[Second Imperium]]. The Second Imperium later fell, creating the [[Long Night]], which eventually led to the [[Third Imperium]]. 

The sector today is known as a core sector of the [[Third Imperium]], an important transportation hub, and an industrial powerhouse of [[technology]] incubation and high-tech manufacturing prowess. It is also known for a number of competing power blocks, a dense population, and relatively large number of native sophonts. The picture many newcomers have of the sector is of a grey, featureless expanse of factory systems filled with grey, humourless [[Vilani]]. Nothing could be further from the truth. 

Dagudashaag is a [[sector]] of contrasts, from the soaring, fusion-carved mountains and glittering city-warrens of Medurma, to the floating dreamworlds of {{WorldS|Ushra (Da 1016)|Dagudashaag|1016}}, to the sulphur volcanoes of {{WorldS|Lenashuuk |Dagudashaag|1640}}, the macroengineering of the [[beanstalk]] on {{WorldS|Gateway (Da 1331)|Dagudashaag|1331}}, and the unspoilt plains of {{WorldS|Kaurga|Dagudashaag|1118}}.

The social structure of Dagudashaag is equally varied. Arrive at any starport, and you will encounter the sibilant speech of [[S'mrii]], the strangely striped visages of [[Ziadd]], small bureaucratic [[Bwap]], enigmatic [[Droyne]], the penetrating gazes of [[Scania]]ns, and the towering, richly-robed figures of [[Aslan]] merchants amongst others.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
Ancient tensions and rivalries between the many population groups of the sector, dating back to the [[Vilani]] [[Consolidation Wars]] and before, give this sector the complex social map it has today.

Sites have been unearthed in [[Remnants Subsector|Remnants]] subsector, which have provided artifacts dating back more than 40 million years. Although the mysterious [[Ancients]] were not as active in Dagudashaag as in the Deneb Domain, several sites have been found including {{WorldS|Anomaly|Dagudashaag|1633}}. 

The [[S'mrii]], a reptilian race native to the coreward/spinward regions of this sector, achieved spaceflight some twenty-seven thousand years ago, and despite a number of setbacks, they had a thriving interstellar federation by the time they were contacted by the [[Vilani]] nearly ten thousand years ago.

While there have been many [[civilization]]s, species, and [[polities]] in Dagudashaag, the area has been dominated by the [[Third Imperium]] for well over a millennia.

Dagudashaag is an old sector with a long history leading back to the [[First Imperium]] and before. Old [[empire]]s dotted the area inhabited by Vilani rebels escaping the empire, indigenous humans possibly of [[Ancients]] [[geneering]] origin, as well as a number of intelligent non-human species. In those early days, the area was a morass of pirates, small feuding [[pocket empire]]s, and both interspecies and internecine conflict. The ruins of ancient and extinct species provide a constant source of interest to locals academics, historians, and explorers. Despite the area's long history of [[sophont]] [[civilization]], new discoveries frequently appear on the news weeklies of [[far trader]]s, [[x-boat]] transmissions, and by that venerated source of communication, word of mouth. The area is far from being fully known and still possesses many a secret.

Dagudashaag Sector is known for having a particularly large number of Population I, or metal-rich [[star]]s with widespread and very rich resources and many inhabitable [[world]]s. 

TRADE ROUTE OVERVIEW:
* The Sector is linked to the [[Vilani Main]] through both [[Mimu Subsector]] (this segment of the [[Vilani Main]] is known locally as the ''[[Slavers Reach Route]]'' and carries through into [[Gushemege Sector|Gushemege]]’s [[Tansa Subsector]]) and through [[Iiradu Subsector]] (where it is known as the ''[[Plague Way]]''), overspilling into [[Core Sector|Core]]. 
* The [[Sylean Main]] extends into the Sector through [[Kuriishe Subsector|Kuiishe]] and [[Gadde Subsector|Gadde]] Subsectors (the main route is known as the ''[[Kuriishe Main]]'') as well as through the [[Bunkeria Pinnacle]]. 
** The Sylean main also links through [[Laraa Subsector]] (the Jump-1 route known locally as either the ''[[Laraa Main]]'' or the ''[[Kadushi Cluster]]'') which extends through the sector into [[Zarushagar Sector]]. 
* The only other Jump-1 link with [[Zarushagar Sector]] is through the Rimward cluster of stars in [[Bolivar Subsector|Bolivar]] and [[Argi Subsector|Argi]] Subsectors known as the ''[[Ilelish Trail]]''. 
* As well as the ''[[Slavers Reach Route]]'', Gushemege’s [[Lancian Cultural Region]] is linked by Jump-1 to the Spinward edge of both [[Mimu Subsector|Mimu]] and [[Shallows Subsector|Shallows]] Subsectors through the chain of systems known as the ''[[Tansa Edge]]'' or ''[[Lancian Rim]]''. 
* In the heart of the Sector, isolated by Jump-2 is the [[Medurma Main]], which dominates eight Subsectors and links approximately half the sector. This starlane has a number of local designations. 
** The [[Medurma Main]] (the segment best known as the ''[[Corsair’s Chain]]'') also overﬂows into Gushemege at the [[Zeda Subsector|Zeda]]/[[Shire Subsector|Shire]] border. Again a small cluster of stars on Bolivar’s Spinward edge extends into Gushemege’s [[Lagan Subsector]].

== Politics & Diplomacy ([[Interstellar Relations]]) ==
{{Summary}}

It has been extensively developed since Milieu 0 and the birth of the [[Third Imperium]]. In [[1116]], it is a rich, industrial powerhouse of manufacturing, trade, and technological research. Dagudashaag exports a fair quantity of its output to the less-developed sectors of [[Gushemege Sector|Gushemege]] and [[Zarushagar Sector|Zarushagar]].

The sector is the industrial centre of [[Vland Domain]], and its GSP (Gross Sector Product) has been known to exceed that of its parent, [[Vland Sector]]. The area was significantly developed by the [[Vilani]] of the [[First Imperium]] and transformed from a squabbling batch of [[pocket empire]]s into a well developed region. Subsequent settlement by the [[Solomani]] has created a strong economic “axis” to the sector, roughly along a line between Mimu, Medurma and Argi subsectors. 

A number of power blocks presently exist within the sector At least two major power blocs predate [[Vilani]] influence and still exist in the area: 
# [[Lancian League]]
# [[S'mrii ConSentiency]]
# The [[Ziadd]], a powerful, but poorly organized minor human race, represent another political and social grouping with high ambition coupled with a keen intelligence and sharp trade sensibilities. The last organized [[Ziadd]] polity was the [[Zeda Alignment]] before the [[Third Imperium]] forcibly integrated the [[Ziadd]] into the Imperial fold. Understated discrimination against the [[Ziadd]] causes resentment against Imperial authorities and many [[Ziadd]] observe the [[Geonee]], [[Luriani]], and other imperial cultural regions with both admiration and envy.
# The [[Amec Trade Protectorate]], arose from later Terran and Solomani influence under the Second Imperium and its successors. 

The conflict and interplay between these groups as well as the [[Sylean]]s and [[Third Imperium]] loyalists means that this sector is always brimming with debate, arguments, and tension creating a vibrant area of trade, cultural exchange, and sometimes low-level warfare. Throw in a few assertive [[megacorporation]]s combined with outside influences and the sector keeps Imperial intelligence very busy. [[Aslan]], [[Hiver]], and [[Vargr]] traders and diplomatic missions from outside the [[Imperium]] are frequently encountered amongst the systems and worlds of this sector. Even [[Zhodani]] and occasionally [[K'kree]] can be encountered within this [[sector]].
