Serpent's Bosom

A derogatory term applied to subsectors in the spinward edge of Dagudashaag Sector and the trailing region of Gushemege Sector. This area has a reputation for rebellion and sedition, comprising as it does the Lancian Cultural Region, the S'mrii ConSentiency, the Ziadd Confederation, the Amec Trade Protectorate, and the Gushemege Cybertech region. The term was attributed to Empress Margaret I, who was believed to have frequently referred to the region as 'a serpent in our bosom'. This was later shortened to 'Serpent's Bosom'. Many historians believed that the term 'serpent' may have been intended as a direct reference to the S'mrii.
