Onrakae Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by Vargr.

• The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
• Many worlds within the region are involved with the interstellar slave trade.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Onrakae Subsector:

• The subsector is a lower stellar density region.
• It contains one major rift area: a narrow rift known as The Sliver.
• The marginally brightest star is the white main sequence primary of the Thughzkhaenghk system.
• The Zurekhaz, an important local trade route, lies within the coreward part of the region.

Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Onrakae 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.

Rift Regions

One rift area lies within the subsector: a narrow rift known as The Sliver.

• The Sliver occupies the central-spinward half of the subsector.

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.

The boundaries of rifts were established centuries ago, when the highest commonly encountered tech level was TL–12.

• This level of technology allowed the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
• Areas that couldn't be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels were denoted as rifts.

This traditional definition of rift regions remains in use today, despite modern high performance starships easily being able to cross them.

Zurekhaz

A single world on the coreward edge of the subsector is a member of the Zurekhaz, a small but important trade route with a dark reputation as a hub of the slave trade.

• It has 22 member systems. The majority of its worlds are staunchly neutral.
• A number of its trailing systems have been seized by the Empire of Varroerth.

• Worlds lying within this stellar grouping are highlighted in tan.

History & Background (Dossier)

The major power in the subsector is the Dzarrgh Federate, a relatively newly formed successor state to the Knokseng Confederation. The ongoing transition to the new authority's rule is still causing administrative and legal issues.

The Splinter, a minor rift lying along the spinward side of the subsector, serves as a natural barrier between the Dzarrgh Federate and the Pact of Two.

Polity Listing

The following polities lie within the subsector:

• Vargr Extents (Vargr powers)
  • Dzarrgh Federate.
  • Windhorn Pact of Two.

Other powers:

• Balkanized Space
  • Non-Aligned, Vargr-dominated worlds.

Capitals

Ungakne Oekh, the regional capital of the Dzarrgh Federate.

Native Sophonts (NILs)

No races (sophont species) are believed to have originated in this area.

Demographics

Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this area:

• Terragens (Non-human Terran races)
  • Vargr (Major Race): the majority population within the sector.

• Non-Human Races
  • Aezorgh of Soghzalghag: native to Windhorn Sector and sparsely distributed across the Vargr Extents. Their name translates as "vermin".
  • Dhaen of Dhaen, in Provence Sector: small, long-bodied, fur-covered humanoids not recognized by the Vargr as being sophont.
    • Some Vargr keep them as pets or as servants.
  • Hlanssai of Vrirhlanz, in Gzaekfueg Sector: sensual, impulsive, emotional humanoids with a strong wanderlust who may occasionally be encountered in small groups.
    • They are considered "unstable" by the notoriously unpredictable Vargr.

• Humaniti (Human Races)
  • Mixed heritage, most commonly Travellers, traders, or captives held in bondage by the Vargr.
  • Solomani, primarily from long-established families.
  • Vilani, primarily from long-established (and often reclusive) families.
  • Zhodani, mostly Consular officials conducting state affairs or far-flung merchants and traders.
