Subsector E of Amdukan Sector.
Description[edit]
This subsector lies within the Julian Protectorate but is largely outside the jurisdictions of Julian substates. The Alliance of Ozuvon controls six systems along the trailing edge, and the Asimikigir Confederation controls four systems along the rimward edge. The remaining twenty-one systems are free-standing Protectorate members, at least in theory. These free-standing worlds are home to barely three billion inhabitants in total, with no one world dominating the area. Economically, the region is controlled by several high population worlds within the substates or situated outside the subsector.
Many of the worlds on the spinward side of Sakas are on the grand main that connects Imperial space to rimward with Julian and Gashikan space, the Nudashiir Lagani, or "Lishun-Gashikan Main". While this brings commerce into the region, this area is off of the primary path of the main, and sees less benefit than it might want.
Due to its position relative to several substates of the Julian Protectorate and the political structure of Julian space, Sakas Subsector lacks its own local capital.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic features, trade routes, mains, clusters, and traces can be found within this area:
The Nudashiir Lagani[edit]
A number of worlds in 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.
- Worlds on the Main are highlighted in green.
Subsector Summary: 1116[edit]
Sakas, subsector E of Amdukan, contains 31 worlds with an estimated combined population of 21 billion, a per capita income of Cr1,068, and a total economy of BCr22,525. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr960 through 23 starports (3 Class A, 8 Class B, 11 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 122,640 people. Driving this interstellar trade are four Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, three Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, three Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Sakas maintain nine Military bases and seven Naval bases. The average technology level is 7 (with most between 5 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Daghoull (Amdukan 0112) and Oekhel (Amdukan 0213).
Sakas, subsector E of Amdukan, contains 43 stars and 355 identified planets; 19 monostellar systems, 12 binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 27 of the 31 systems (87%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, one Desert (De) world, no Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, six Poor (Po) worlds, one Vacuum (Va) world, and five Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.
Sakas has an estimated population of 21 billion distributed across three High population (Hi) worlds, five Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 14 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, eight Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Tokgu (Amdukan 0814), Erdut (Amdukan 0520), and Ananir (Amdukan 0420). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups.

Julian Protectorate[edit]
The Julian Protectorate has jurisdiction over all of the worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of 21 billion, a per capita income of Cr1,068, and a total economy of BCr22,525. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr960 through 23 starports (3 Class A, 8 Class B, 11 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 122,640 people. Driving this interstellar trade are four Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, three Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, three Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in the Julian Protectorate maintain nine Military bases and seven Naval bases within the subsector. The average technology level is 7 (with most between 5 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Daghoull (Amdukan 0112) and Oekhel (Amdukan 0213).
The Julian Protectorate has an estimated population of 21 billion within the subsector, distributed across three High population (Hi) worlds, five Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 14 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, eight Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Tokgu (Amdukan 0814), Erdut (Amdukan 0520), and Ananir (Amdukan 0420). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups.

Demographics[edit]
Significant populations of the following sophont races exist within this subsector:
Linguistic Topography: 1116[edit]
The following languages are among the most commonly encountered in this astrographic region:
- Anglic: Common to many human worlds.
- Julian Anglic: The most common variant in the sector, and an official language of the Julian Protectorate.
- Hhraki: Also known as Hhkarn; the primary language of the Hhkar. Hhkar travel frequently and may be found wandering much of Julian and adjacent space.
- Irilitok: The language family of the most populous Vargr phenotype and ethnic culture within the Julian Protectorate.
- Rrakfugk: An Irilitok language common in the Asimikigir Confederation.
- Ovaghoun: The language family of a populous Vargr phenotype and ethnic culture.
- Ikonaz Vargr: A form of the dominant Ovaghoun language in the Ikonaz Sphere (and so in the Rukadukaz Republic).
- Ikonaz Vilani: A variant of the above altered to suit Human vocalization.
- Vilani: Common to many human worlds. Many human dialects in the region have Vilani roots.
- Wawa-pakekeke-wawa: The common, precise and bureaucratic language of the Bwaps. Spoken on Bwap-dominated planets and by government functionaries on any world lucky enough to retain a dedicated Bwap workforce.
Major Historical Events[edit]
These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this subsector:
- Arrival of the Vilani as conquerors during the Consolidation Wars.
- The steady influx of Solomani via the efforts of the Scorpion Company during the Rule of Man.
- The slow but steady, and ultimately unstoppable, migration of Irilitok Vargr during the Long Night.
- The founding of the Julian Protectorate as a response to the expansion of the Third Imperium.
Timeline[edit]
These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this subsector and the surrounding region:
- -2235 to -2219: A family of Solomani traders, the Menderes, establish lucrative trade routes along the Mendan Main.
- -1658: The Sack of Gashikan, an atrocity known throughout the coreward parts of Charted Space.
- -1483 to -321: The Gashikan Race Wars rage between Human and Vargr extremists across the Extents.
- -321: Karik Menderes of Menderes Corporation raises all Menderes Vargr to the status of employees.
- This starts a movement that makes slavery illegal on Asimikigir by -302.
- -275: Tran Menderes breaks precedent by accepting a Vargr offer to carry Menderes goods off planet. Until now, Kudukara Lines, the principle transport line of the Second Empire of Gashikan, has carried all goods for the region.
- (175 to 191): Julian War; the region unites to fight off the Third Imperium as it attempts to incorporate Amdukan, Mendan and Meshan sectors by force.
- Early 600s: After centuries of increasingly common peaceful (if wary) interaction, the Hhkar Sphere joins the Julian Protectorate.
- 933-936: The defection of the Damlaer Union from the Julian Protectorate to the Hegemony of Lorean leads to the Lorean Strikes. Failed military action leads to a major political crisis within the Protectorate.
- 940: As part of this political upheaval, the government of the Ikonaz Sphere collapses, replaced by the Rukadukaz Republic.
- 942: The Protectorate and the Hegemony formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Julian Protectorate.
- 1070: The Second Empire of Gashikan is shattered by civil war.
- In the aftermath, while many Gashikan systems recoalesce into the Third Empire of Gashikan, others form the Commonwealth of Mendan and instead join the Julian Protectorate.
