The Domain of Deneb is one of the domains of the Imperium.
- Overall Imperial control is about 2 sectors worth of planets, also making it one of the smallest Domains (more than Gateway and similar in size to Antares).
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The domain is about 30% void due to the Great Rift, and bordered coreward by the Vargr Extents and spinward by the Zhodani Consulate.
- The trailing part of the Reft Sector is administered by the Domain of Vland, as it is physically separated by the rift.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
This domain was the most recently created (589[1]) and awarded (1117[2]). In the gap between creation (589) and award (1114) the title Archduke was not awarded, and the position itself lay vacant. In the absence of a person, there nonetheless arose a bureaucracy to administer essential administrative services, headquartered at Deneb. That bureaucracy wielded great power within its specific administrative offices.
- Aslan Colonies are a major part of Trojan Reaches Sector, and there are many non-Imperial worlds there, and in the Spinward Marches Sector.
