Those systems on the spinward edge of Halcyon Sector, within the Distant Fringe, dominated by the Esaran, a minor race native to Rasand (0717 Halcyon). The Cultural Area has a total population of approximately 5 billion Esaran and around 350 million humans of Terran descent. Many other worlds in Halcyon sector have small Esaran Cantons. The cultural area is notable for its distinctive Esaran architecture, based around a central plaza fringed by tall, slender buildings and surrounded by open parkland.

The core systems of the Cultural Area are Rasand (0717 Halcyon), Emak (0818 Halcyon), and Farin (0819 Halcyon) – the population of Farin now exceeds that of the homeworld. The larger cultural area includes Kenset (0921 Halcyon), Hypelio (1022 Halcyon), Quarin (1023 Halcyon), Linden (1121 Halcyon), Revegant (1124 Halcyon), and Futhun (1223 Halcyon). Esaran are present in large numbers, though these systems also have significant human populations.
