Lon Beon Sector is a sector lying within the Infinitys Shore region of the Empty Stars.

Meta-History & Background[edit]

Lon Beon Sector is an unexplored region. The positions and types of its stars have been cataloged as part of the University of Selasia Spinward Survey.

It features heavily in the Mythology of Lon Beon.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

Lon Beon Sector is an unpopulated and totally undeveloped wilderness. Starfaring sophonts are not believed to have been active in the sector since the Dissident Fleet travelled through the region more than three millennia ago, and even the veracity of that fact is uncertain.

History & Background[edit]

Lon Beon Sector is a relatively new name - it was originally called Eskine Sector. The first known use of "Lon Beon" as a name was around 2850AD, when it featured as an advanced but aloof polity in a science-fantasy story concerning the Dissident Fleet. The concept caught the public imagination and since then a huge mythology has evolved involving the region and the realm. From 4700AD onwards, following the Dark Age, astrographic charts have habitually used Lon Beon as the sector's name.

Native Sophonts (NILs):[edit]

No native sophont species are known to exist within Lon Beon Sector. Starfaring sophonts are not believed to have been active in the sector since the Dissident Fleet travelled through the region more than three millennia ago, and even that fact is not certain.
