Subsector A of Spinward Marches Sector. The Cronor Subsector lies at the extreme spinward reach of the Imperial frontier, and has long been a point of friction between the Imperium and the Zhodani Consulate. [1] Originally named "Chronor Subsector" after its principal world "Chronor", current star charts label it as "Cronor Subsector" after the corrupted Zhodani rendering of the name. [2]
Physical Astrography[edit]
The Zhodani have placed their capital at Cronor, a jump route and postal route nexus with important ties to Jewell and Querion Subsectors. Away from established jump lanes, the sparse population of the subsector has resisted domination, although only in a passive vein. The Imperium has maintained a tenuous naval base at Quar since 1083.
All worlds in this subsector should be treated as Amber by Imperial citizens. [1]
Trade Routes[edit]
The Spinward Main[edit]
The Spinward Main is the arterial trade route within the Spinward Marches.
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels laden with goods, commodities, and luxuries move along it, bound for the thriving markets of its member worlds.
Local Worlds[edit]
One world within the subsector lies on the Main.

Politics and Diplomacy : Milieu 1116[edit]
The Second Frontier War (615-620) began with an attack on the then Imperial subsector capital of Cipango and then exploded to engulf three subsectors. Ultimately, the Cronor subsector was lost as a result of the war, and the borders established have remained to this day. Zhodani ascendance in this subsector is a relatively recent event, and only over the past century have the worlds off the major courier routes been consolidated into the mainstream of Zhodani society. Incursions which have collectively been called the Fourth Frontier War (1082-1084) resulted in some realignment of accepted boundaries, but in no real gains for either side. [1]
Demographics[edit]
Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this subsector:
- Humaniti (Human races)
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Cronor Subsector is available.

- Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.

Subsector Timeline[edit]
Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:
- circa -300,000: the Ancients are active within the sector, most notably transplanting humans from Terra onto Darrian.
- −5823: the Zhodani Consulate is established.
- -4045 to -2204: the Vilani Ziru Sirka controls vast territories.
- after -4045: a few Vilani dissidents fleeing the Ziru Sirka may have passed through the sector.
- -2404 to -2215: the Interstellar Wars. The young Terran Confederation battles against the ancient Ziru Sirka.
- -2400s: Terran explorers pass through the sector, heading generally to spinward and eventually founding settlements in the Theta Borealis region.
- -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man administers the former Ziru Sirka.
- -1776 to 0: the Rule of Man collapses. Charted Space endures the Long Night.
- -1511: the Itzin Fleet, a group of far-flung Terran traders, contact the Daryens of Darrian. Over the next few centuries Daryen technology advances exponentially.
- Colonists from the Fleet found settlements on a few other worlds within the region.
- -1270: Daryen exploration reaches 20 parsecs from Darrian itself.
- -1137: the Darrian Confederation is founded.
- -1118 to 380: the Aslan Border Wars.
- -924: the Maghiz – the primary star of the Darrian system destabilizes, creating a monumental Electromagnetic Pulse that hits worlds many parsecs away and destroys the now highly advanced Daryen civilization.
- circa -750: Gvegh Vargr from coreward launch sporadic raids into the sector.
- -399: Gram and a number of other worlds in the Sword Worlds Subsector are settled by Terrans fleeing a civil war in the Old Earth Union, in the Solomani Rim. They make their escape from Terra though Aslan Space.
- -200: contact between the Old Earth Union and the Terran settlements in the Sword Worlds Subsector is cut. The long and treacherous route through Aslan Space was made more difficult due to the ongoing Border Wars and the frequent political and territorial changes they caused.
- -187: the Zhodani establish contact with Daryens.
- -186: the Sacnoth Dominate, the first Sword Worlds' government forms.
- The Year 0: the Third Imperium is founded, ending the Long Night.
- 60: Imperial development within the Marches begins in earnest with the settlement of Mora. The Imperial frontier gradually expands into the sector.
- 73: Imperial traders exploring to spinward establish formal contact with the Sword Worlds.
- 75: Regina is settled. A bubble of Imperial territory grows around it.
- before 100: increasing numbers of Vargr settle the relatively empty regions to coreward.
- 148: the IISS make formal contact with Daryens.
- 300: Pretoria, in Deneb Sector, is settled by the Imperium and eventually becomes the administrative center for the Aramis Trace in the Spinward Marches.
- 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the subsector.
- 400s: the Zhodani begin settlement within the Marches. They know it as Tloql Sector.
- 589-604: First Frontier War.
- 604-622: the Imperial Civil War.
- 615-620: Second Frontier War.
- 624: the Express Boat Network is established.
- 800-820: the Psionics Suppressions.
- 979-986: Third Frontier War.
- 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the subsector.
- 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the subsector becomes widely available.
- 1082-1084: Fourth Frontier War, also known as the False War.
- 1107-1110: Fifth Frontier War.
