Esaran Cultural Area
Those systems on the spinward edge of Halcyon Sector dominated by the Esaran, Sophonts native to Rasand (0717 Halcyon).
The following astronavigational codes are used within this polity:

Description / Specifications
The Cultural Area has a total population of approximately 3.373 billion Esaran, around 350 million humans, and roughly 70 million Oquo. 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.
History & Background / Dossier
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) (the homeworld of the Oquo), Linden (1121 Halcyon), Revegant (1124 Halcyon), and Futhun (1223 Halcyon). Esaran are present in large numbers, though these systems also have significant human populations.
Military Forces
Army: 1,200 battalions organized into twelve Canton Protection Units equal in power to an army corps. Different governments control different military units.
Marine: 120 battalions organized into twelve Planetary Security Units equal in power to a marine brigade.
Each faction has enough fleet transport capacity to move an entire marine Planetary Security Unit in a single lift. Army units are much harder to redeploy, and have much less strategic mobility. Nine units are on patrol at one time, one per planet in the ECA operation zones. Four are generally held in reserve, these units are training or rebuilding from combat operations. Each world in the ECA can raise local planetary defense units commiserate with their available resources and personnel. Rival balkanized governments share several starship designs in common. The TL–11 garrisons have little problem handing some of the planets with smaller populations and much lower technology levels.
