Vilis Subsector is the communications link extending along the Imperial border from Regina plunges through the heart of the Vilis subsector. While the coreward portion of the region is the demilitarized neutral zone shared with the Zhodani Consulate, the rimward edge of the area borders on the loose confederation known as the Sword Worlds. In times of tension, the exposed location of this subsector makes the area a prime military position.
The Vilis Subsector is defended by 23rd Fleet until the Fifth Frontier War and the 193rd Fleet thereafter.
