Demon's Eye Subsector is Subsector J of Far Home Sector.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Demon's Eye Subsector lies within Far Home Sector and is named for the Demon's Eye system and its massive white supergiant star. The coreward and trailing regions of the subsector contains the Demon's Eye Rift, while its rimward regions are dominated by the Pel Avena Cluster and dotted with scattered systems. A single Star Lane crosses the coreward edge of the Subsector. Dal Hallen, the capital of the Rimward Federation, is also considered to be the capital of the Subsector.

Subsector Summary[edit]
Demon's Eye, subsector J of Far Home has 17 worlds, of which 11 have native gas giants. The estimated population for the subsector is 11 billion sophonts (not necessarily humans). There are two High population (Hi) worlds, one Moderate population (Ph) world, nine Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, three Low population (Lo) worlds, and one Barren (Ba) world.

There are no Naval bases in the subsector, no Scout bases, and no Way stations. The highest population world is Merant (Far Home 1427). The highest tech level is A at Dal Hallen (Far Home 1428) and Nassin (Far Home 1627). The average technology level is 6 (with most between 3 and 8).
Polity Listing[edit]

There is one unclaimed or unexplored system in Demon's Eye.
History & Background[edit]
Demon's Eye Subsector saw almost no activity by humans prior to the establishment of the Third Confederation, and what little development there was abruptly ended with the onset of the Dark Age, nearly two thousand years ago. Following the Renaissance period survivor worlds were recontacted, scavengers picked over the few remains that there were, and hardy pioneers looked to the empty systems and the opportunities they presented. Almost all expansion and growth within the region is relatively modern, beginning during the so-called Golden Age and continuing with the nebulous Development Organizations and the rise of polities.
- A strong social divide exists between wealthy and aristocratic Fives, descended from the original settlers and crew of the Last Armada, and Gens, individuals whose ancestors were grown in GenPods and raised by Hoppers.
Major Historical Events Timeline[edit]
Some of the more important historical events that have affected this area include:
- 2255AD: The Last Armada arrives in the Demon Cluster.
- 2500AD: The monolithic and anti-expansionist Second Confederation is founded. Settlement within the Demon Cluster is restricted to its coreward regions: the Demon's Eye Subsector remains largely unexplored and unpopulated.
- ca 3200: very limited exploration within the rimward regions of the Demon Cluster.
- ca 3500AD: Sporadic but gradual settlement throughout the Subsector.
- 3730AD: Voyagers arrive and devastate the Subsector. The Dark Age begins.
- 4549AD: Unusual activity in the primary star of the Demon's Eye system. The Voyagers depart and the Dark Age ends. The Renaissance sees the first steps back into space.
- 4830AD: Tal Varisan Development begins sporadic commercial exploration of the Subsector.
- ca 4900AD: Golden Age. Space travel becomes relatively commonplace.
- ca 4900AD: Rimward Opportunities begins commercial exploration of the rimward regions of the Sector.
- 4933AD: Formation of Rimward Opportunities Development Organization.
- 5184AD: "Hollow Opportunities", following the secession of the Pel Avena Cluster from Rimward Opportunities.
- 5350AD: Rimward Opportunities ceases to exist as an entity.
- 5600AD: Data for Demon's Eye Subsector is published in the DSP Listing.
