History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Imperium dominates this subsector, ruling over all but one world, (Roye/Nightrim (Reaver's Deep 2511)).

  • Two worlds (Orkney and Maiden) form the Dienbach Grÿpen, an autonomously governed region that has been quarantined by the Imperium.
    • This quarantine is monitored by the scout base at neighboring Khagish.

Historical Data[edit]

The subsector was initially settled by Vilani refugees from the First Imperium, and a Vilani dialect continues to be the primary language on many of its major worlds.

A scout named Purcell established the Nightrim spur of the X-boat Route.

Ahead of the Solomani Rim War, a small Solomani Confederation task force led by Commodore Fidel Scheinberg slipped into Imperial space here at Sheffield. Employing cruisers disguised as Aslan ships, this Task Force Scheinberg launched a series of hit-and-run raids on shipping in Nightrim and neighbouring Woomera Subsector, which diverted Imperial resources.
