History: General Overview
Although its exact route is unknown, the Dissident Fleet almost certainly travelled across the coreward part of Divide Sector some time after 2255AD as it fled the Destruction of Terra and the pursuing Vilani.
Divide Sector has been settled for over two millennia, though its listed population only numbers in the millions. It remained unsettled until the Third Confederation, when the Hylan Spur was selected as the final bastion of Terran humanity by the Redoubt Program.
The sector lost the majority of its population during the Dark Age (only Nevik survived) and was unaffected by the events of Scavenger Season and the Golden Age. The rimward-trailing quadrant of the sector was claimed by Bright Expansion, later coming under the control of the University of Selasia. Despite its remote location it contains the single most advanced world within the Distant Fringe.
Timeline of Major Historical Events

Interstellar Relations
Divide Sector is largely unexplored: only a part of the rimward-trailing quadrant of the sector is inhabited. Although the area is nominally Non-aligned, it is dominated by the Bright Conclave, which controls all access to it.
Polities of Divide Sector
Divide Sector contains no independent polities. Those areas that have been explored and settled fall generally under the aegis of the Bright Conclave and the University of Selasia.
