Description[edit]

Main Article: Tukera Lines

Million Subsector[edit]

Tukera used to run from Khouth to Arleshanu with a minor branch operation running to Talon via Fel and Oluk Dzas. With the withdrawal of the Corridor Fleet, the first route fell prey to the Dzarrgh Federate and the second was seized by the UFA in 1117 for its "Better Protection from Corsairs". The TalonFel - Oluk DzasKhouth route was fully re-opened in 1124 as Therkue Line. Human employees of Tukera were repatriated to the Imperium between 1119 and 1124.

Khouth Subsector[edit]

The shipping in the Khouth Subsector that Tukera Lines operated on the X-Boat routes all fell to the Vargr in one way or another after the withdrawl of the Corridor Fleet. While a little survived in the subsector, much of the transport capacity was taken for conversion to Troop Transports by the Dzarrgh Federate or the Irrgh Manifest. The Dzarrgh Federate needed the vessels to tie its Coreward settlements to its new Rimward conquests while the Irrgh Manifest needed the vessels for connecting the two parts of its empire.

As time progressed, the mighty vessels fell into disrepair, were destroyed by Imperial, Regency or even Vargr forces or were sold off further into the Vargr Extents or even to the Imperial Navy for Abandonment duties. Those that remained became the basis of the Vargr and later Virus invasions that fell upon the Regency Quarantine.
