Gateway to Ghoekhnael
The Gateway to Ghoekhnael is a Vargr term used loosely in Knoellighz Sector, referencing the massive, 63-world, Jump-1 main beginning in Dzighkafe Subsector (Knoellighz B) at Lluenkhaegon (Knoellighz 1407) and continuing Coreward.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Though the Gateway to Ghoekhnael is attainable by Jump-2 capable starships, the traditional trade fleets of the Democracy of Greats relied heavily upon Jump-1 starships, eschewing distance for territorial range in a main or cluster and giving extra tonnage to cargo hold space. Some corporations are beginning to understand the significance of new finds to coreward and make the two-parsec leap to the main through Rourukhae and Ourdzoeg subsectors.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The extent of the main was discovered in 1105 by an enterprising Democracy of Greats colonization administrator and wildcatter of the growing edge border. Though the administrator knew that domination of the newfound main would not be achieved in his lifetime, he wisely and secretly filed the proper paperwork for claiming it in the name of the next Great -- for he knew that such a huge main would call for another elected, charismatic Great as the polity crept Coreward and that this would cause a shakeup and possible civil war, disrupting the favored number of seven Greats. He meant his heir to become that additional Great and through such a large, Jump-1 main rule the Democracy -- as it would become the most bountiful of all the mains, clusters and individual worlds of the polity.
Later Eras[edit]
During the Rebellion and Hard Times Eras, the Gateway to Ghoeknael is hotly contested by various, envious Greats, and clashes to lay claim to its vastness are made. Yet other Greats protest the find and fear a loss of their mains' importance as the Democracy of Greats annexes or conquers its way Coreward. But as systems and clusters are left behind in the "tail end" of the polity, a more dangerous event comes from behind and catches the empire unawares.
The onset of Virus comes first and fastest through the Democracy of Greats into Knoellighz Sector, shattering the brittle, left-behind subsectors. The entirety of Knoellighz degrades into the Wilds as more than one polity is overtaken by Virus and vampire fleets. Not until the Regency and the Zhodani Consulate deliver the Rimward polities through the Gvurrdon border can Knoellighz begin to pick up the pieces.
