The Beyond Sector is an astrographic region with a long history of civilization. There are signs of old life here, some that pre-date the Ziru Sirka. Its relatively remote location is the only factor precluding greater attention from interstellar society.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The area is rich in trade and will most likely serve as an important traderoads for the expansion of interstellar society in the near future.
Sophontologists have been flocking to the region for over a hundred years although there is much complaining that the Zhodani may have already picked the area clean.

General Overview: No information yet available.
History-Era: Milieu 1100[edit]
Located far behind the Great Rift on the opposite side of both the Ziru Sirka and the Rule of Man, no serious settlement was attempted until the Long Night.
When settlers and explorers did come, The Beyond was settled in various waves. The first initial waves were comprised of the following groupsː
- Sindalian (Corellan) (ca -1600)
- Aslan (ca -800)
- Florian (ca 40)
After the rise of the Third Imperium, three more waves added their numbers to the sector’s already diverse population.
- Early Imperial Groups (ca 400-500)
- · Nakris (Corellan-Imperial)
- · Marrakeshite (Imperial/religious)
- First Imperial Waveː "The Great Pulse" (ca 600)
- Second Imperial Waveː "The Psionic Refugees" (ca 800)
