It lies five parsecs rimward of the Liradi Trace, within the Great Void, placing it beyond the range of conventional vessels. It is likely that governments and organisations know significantly more about it than is made available to the general public.

Gevel, by far the most populous world and the informal Subsector capital, is a net producer of foodstuffs and bioproducts and some limited trade exists along the Liradi Trace. Most craft are small service vessels carrying supplies to the isolated communities of the area.

Capitals

Gevel, an agricultural garden world, serves as the Subsector capital.

History & Background

Liradi Subsector saw almost no activity by humans prior to the establishment of the Third Confederation, and what little development there was abruptly ended with the onset of the Dark Age, nearly two thousand years ago. Almost all expansion and growth within the region is relatively modern, occuring following the end of the Dark Age and the rise of Development Organizations.

• Social divides exist between wealthy and aristocratic Fives, descended from the original settlers and crew of the Last Armada, and Gens, individuals whose ancestors were grown in GenPods and raised by Hoppers, but such distinctions are generally of little importance.
