History & Background
Kataran Sector is a largely unexplored region. The University of Tal Varisa has conducted surveys of a number of systems lying within its spinward subsectors. Other than those few survey vessels, the only starfaring sophonts thought to have been active in the heart of the Sector since the Last Armada travelled through the region more than three millennia ago was the Dillard-Purcell Expedition of the late 53rd century.
