Banners Sector (Imperial coordinates -2/-5), is located Rimward of Ustral Quadrant Sector and Spinward of Hanstone Sector.

Description (Specifications)

Banners is relatively underpopulated, having been settled by the major races comparatively recently. The largest populations by far are clustered in the Aslan pocket empires that have grown up to support colonization and scouting efforts to rimward.

Linguistic Topography: 1116

The following languages are among the most commonly used within this astrographic region:

• Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium and an official language of the Solomani Confederation.
  • Various secondary languages of Terran origin can be heard on Solomani-dominated worlds.
• Aslanic: A patois of the Aslan's dominant language of Trokh, utilising Trokh grammar and morphology but with phonology more suited to Human vocalisation. Commonly used by Human societies that have long had contact and exchange with Aslan, noticeably those aided and uplifted by Aslan during the Long Night.
• Trokh: The common language of Aslan who conform to the modern monoculture established after the Aslan Cultural Purge.
  • Aslan Languages: Some clans retain obscure or archaic languages in addition to Trokh.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Aslan are the most common race in Banners Sector (the Anglic name possibly refers to the endless stream of hopeful young lords and land-seeking warbands constantly being raised here), but these are not Hierate Aslan. The local Aslan states are Tahiwihteakhtau or khaleao, and work closely with Humans, Inyx, and other races. Business and production are valued over notions of honour -- by Hierate standards, these nations are feminine in character as well as unduly influenced by aliens, though ironically their primary purpose and industry is support of male Aslan explorers. Aslan clans across the region rely on industrial powerhouses like Woal Warliylr and Aoiftu Roakh to supply and support the ihatei and other settler-explorers heading rimward.

Native Sophonts (NIL): 1105

The following races (sophont species) are believed to have originated within this area:

• Humaniti (Human races)
  • None

• Non-Human Races
  • Gek-Cheb: A wealthy minor race on the border of the Woal Warliylr. They control two systems, and trade with the Aslan of Woal Warliylr (from whom they gained the jump drive) via a barren system providing jump-2 access between these systems.
  • Mosanthi: Not yet starfaring.
  • Vissekti: A minor race native to the Estoc Spiral, a star cluster in subsector B. Having purchased jump drive from Human explorers, they are in the process of setting up colonies in neighbouring systems with Human, Aslan, and Inyx assistance.

• Terragens (Non-human Terran races)
  • None

Politics & Diplomacy (Interstellar Relations)

The sector is beyond the borders of both the Hierate and the Solomani Confederation, though the influence of these polities is felt through trade and client states.

It is considered part of the Trans-Canopus Reaches.

  • Non-Aligned (Human-dominated)
  • Non-Aligned (Unclaimed)

• Other Powers
  • There is a Droyne world, Athvoyo (Banners 2030), a wealthy agricultural world that interacts with its neighbours, but is of little significance beyond its subsector.
  • Inyx Economic Sphere
    • Inyx corporate colonies, often set up to develop underwater mineral resources, have been established on many non-Inyx worlds. Inyx build underwater or establish quarters in zero-gravity space habitats. They have very little interest in what Aslan consider "land", and as such are seen as largely non-threatening by that territorial species.

• Third Imperium (Imperial powers)
  • None
