Thaku Fung Sector, also known as Zhiaqrqiats Sector and formerly known as Sigma Zephyrus Sector, is located coreward of the Vargr Extents, on that region's spinward end. This is the edge of what is usually considered Charted Space.

Description (Specifications)

The Vargr Extents and Zhodani Consulate both make claims to this region, but of the two, only the Vargr have colonies actually within the sector, so their name has precedence in the eyes of the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service.

This sector was largely uninhabited until -1685, when the Solomani Preserve colony ships arrived. Most of Charted Space still thought it was mostly barren until 1103, when an IISS scout reached Havensmith and got away again with sector maps.

Toponyms: 1105

Territorial Overview: 1105

The following table details the subsectors within this area:

Territorial Overview

Subsector	Name	Worlds / Systems	Dominant Allegiance	Remarks
Subsector A	Nest	16	Rho Cluster	This area contains the trailing portion of the Rho Cluster, and some independent worlds.
Subsector B	Warding Beak	19	Solomani Preserve	This is a frontier region of the Solomani Preserve.
Subsector C	Second Wing	13	Solomani Preserve	This is a core region of the Solomani Preserve.
Subsector D	Stasis Tail	18	Solomani Preserve	This is a frontier region of the Solomani Preserve. The Third Imperium's single holding in this sector is located here: the IISS controlled world Geokha.
Subsector E	Smoke	11	Non-Aligned	This area has many unaligned colony worlds, though the Corsair Lyceum is pressuring Fie's Teeth, resulting in an impromptu military coalition among worlds in this area to resist.
Subsector F	Crest Minirift	4	Non-Aligned	This area is largely devoid of systems. Only one of the worlds is inhabited.
Subsector G	Old Perch	15	Solomani Preserve	This area is largely empty, but is the oldest and most developed region of the Solomani Preserve. Between these factors, as of 1105 it has almost as many VoidBridges as systems. For many centuries after the Preserve's founding, it contained the entire Solomani Preserve.
Subsector H	Fallow	6	Barren Worlds	This is a largely empty, and completely uninhabited, area.
Subsector I	Firepit	14	Non-Aligned	This area was never intensely populated. The Empress Wave left only two worlds in this region with sophont population, neither of them in any position to care about affairs beyond their systems, a state that persists as of 1105.
Subsector J	Phi's Sauna	9	Barren Worlds	This area contains the legendary Hell World final resting place of Phi, who mutinied from the Solomani Preserve's colonization fleet near the end of their journey. Nobody lives here now, save for occasional archaeological expeditions.
Subsector K	Cheaters' Route	9	Barren Worlds	This area holds the core portion of the Cheaters' Route, a trade route between the Solomani Preserve and the Vargr Extents. It is deliberately uninhabited; Solomani Preserve presence to maintain the Solomani Preserve Break Worlds is typically most intense in this region.
Subsector L	Vargrwall	10	Barren Worlds	This area is unpopulated, and serves as one of the primary Solomani Preserve Break Worlds regions.
Subsector M	Gnuukechk	18	Barren Worlds	This area is unpopulated, and serves as one of the primary Solomani Preserve Break Worlds regions.
Subsector N	Reurrkechk	14	Barren Worlds	This area is unpopulated, and serves as one of the primary Solomani Preserve Break Worlds regions.
Subsector O	Kiden	13	Vargr Extents	Though sparsely populated and with no worlds part of any interstellar polity, this area can be considered part of the coreward edge of the Vargr Extents.
Subsector P	Rrourzdaekh	7	Vargr Extents	Though sparsely populated and with no worlds part of any interstellar polity, this area can be considered part of the coreward edge of the Vargr Extents.
