Diaspora

The Diaspora is a term that refers to a period during the Interstellar Wars during which the expanding Terrans rapidly settled the sparsely settled region of the Vilani Ziru Sirka known as Nakulakak Sector.

History

When the expanding Terran Confederation exploded into space, Vilani efforts to develop the area they called the Nakulakak Sector were described by one Terran general as "Too little, too late, too slow: too bad." Attempts to use it as a buffer zone only made it easier for the Terrans to conquer portions of it, and ultimately the Vilani began trading bits of it away in attempts to appease the voracious invaders.

As the Terrans grabbed subsector after subsector in their coreward drive, they realized that they had to dominate the region culturally as well as militarily if they were to establish true, lasting control. The Terran Confederation initiated a gargantuan resettlement campaign to achieve this goal. This campaign, which involved the transplanting of some 10 million willing and unwilling persons in the first eight years, was known as the "Diaspora" and gave the Terran (and later Solomani and Imperial) name to the Sector.
