Description / Specifications[edit]
Noung Subsector is a populated and prosperous region dominated by the Vargr, in spite of its proximity to the Third Empire of Gashikan.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Noung Subsector:
- The subsector is considered to be a standard stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the red bright giant primary of the Oho system.
- Major trade routes include the Lishun-Gashikan Main and the Last Bridge.
- It is the location of the Zogodhaeth Cluster.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Noung Subsector, right:
- The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
- The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.
Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.
- Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
- Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.
Trade Routes[edit]
The Nudashiir Lagani[edit]
The trailing worlds of the subsector lie on the Nudashiir Lagani, the great Lishun-Gashikan Main.
- An eclectic mix of vessels, both Human and Vargr, work their ways along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
A basic chart of the Nudashiir Lagani is shown, right:
- Worlds on the Main are highlighted in green.
The Last Bridge[edit]
A single world on the rimward edge of the subsector is a member of The Last Bridge, a war-ravaged chain of systems with a dark reputation for espionage and intrigue. It is known as the Lluutan to the Vargr.
- It is a small Main with 28 member systems.
- It runs between the Ruler of Five and the Third Empire of Gashikan, following a route through Balkanized Space.

- Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in tan.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The Vilani had contact with the Gvegh, Aekhu and Logaksu before -2400 in regions such as Provence Sector, though the Vargr were initially seen more as a curiosity than a threat. The Vargr in turn learned of the vast, immensely wealthy, and militarily weak human empire, a temptation that was impossible for them to ignore. Within a few decades the Vargr were actively raiding Vilani settlements in Windhorn and Corridor Sectors. The Vilani in turn moved the majority of their defenses towards these areas.
Other Vargr racial groups (the proto-Irilitok, Ovaghoun, Suedzuk and Urzaeng) took longer to find a path around the coreward end of the Windhorn Rift, but when routes were eventually found they made a beeline for the poorly defended coreward edge of the Ziru Sirka and its riches. These regions, already stripped of their meager defenses to prop up sectors further to spinward, were easy prey for the new waves of Vargr. The vast distances the Vargr had to travel limited the numbers of raiders who actually reached the Ziru Sirka: substantially more Vargr found promising worlds en route and decided to settle them instead.
