Subsector E of the Luretiir!girr Sector. To the K'kree-influenced cultures, it is the Rttla Subsector; Humans have modified this to "Rattler".

Description

This subsector is the location of an enduring Human polity often known enigmatically as simply the "Human Client State", since it changes its name periodically. Each new dynasty or shift in the form of government prompts a rename. As of 1105, the nation is known as the Saga Isles; previous designations have included the Heirs of Shanmai.

The other local power of note is the independent world of Nile (Luretiir!girr 0813), which controls two other systems.
