History & Background (Dossier)

In 912, The Protectorate began to expand its economic power into Retan Subsector. While The Protectorate denied that it was expanding its borders, both the Zhodani and (later) the Third Imperium refused to believe them. The Protectorate exerts such power on this world that political maps of the region sometimes show it as official Protectorate territory.
