Subsector A of Luretiir!girr Sector.

Description

Located on the spinward frontiers of K'kree space, this subsector has a long history of slow-burning conflict, diplomatic near misses, and political posturing. Credited (apocryphally, according to many) with being the location of the first contact between Vilani and K'kree and the genesis of the Gathering of Kirgia, this subsector still includes Gathering worlds, almost as many supposedly independent systems, and two systems considered part of the enigmatically labeled Human Client State (currently the Saga Isles), most of which is in adjacent Rattler Subsector.

The subsector's most common name comes from the Akeena Union in adjacent Gateway Sector, whose linguistic foibles are easier to pronounce than the K'kree term for the region and more consistent than the studied chaos of the Clients' approach to names.

Aside from the studied arrogance of Kirgia and the even less predictable Clients, the highlight here is the lively belter community at Bob (Luretiir!girr 0708).
