Major Historical Events Timeline[edit]
Ignaz Ruffleran was a merchant captain and explorer of the Five Sisters Subsector between 142 and 161; he had five daughters. The worlds Mirriam (SM_0333) (world), Ucella (world), Penelope (world), Karin (world) and Jone (SM 0433) (world) were named after them.
Declared an Imperial District (District 267) in 610, the subsector is only sparsely settled, and depends upon Imperial payrolls for most of its internal economy. Some colonization attempts were begun under the auspices of Emperor Paulo I in 740, but all developmental activity was stopped under the Psionics Suppressions of 800.[1][2]
The Five Sisters subsector has been under Imperial Naval administration (based at Iderati) since the 800. [1]
Separated from the contiguous Imperium by nearly 10 parsecs at its closest, this region is the Third Imperium's most far-flung outpost, accessible only via a long communications link passing through the Sisters' Reach to the Sword Worlds or the Collace Arm and the wilds of District 268.
