Uekhourg Subsector is Subsector O of Provence Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is part of the Vargr Extents.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Uekhourg Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by Vargr.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
- Inhabitants of the region are sometimes referred to as Highwaymen.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Uekhourg Subsector:
- The subsector is an average stellar density region.
The following astrographic features and trade routes can be found within this area:
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Uekhourg Subsector, right:
- The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
- The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.
Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.
- Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
- Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.
Rifts and Voids[edit]
The subsector lies on the rimward edge of the Windhorn Rift.
- The rift hinders travel and commerce within the region.
- It has placed a boundary on settlement and expansion within the area.
A simple map showing the general extent of the Windhorn Rift, right:
The nature and limits of the rift may be determined by different criteria in different regions.
- Generally, its boundaries are based on jump performance.
- Areas may traditionally be considered rift regions, even though all of their worlds are accessible to ships equipped with high performance drives.
The Chosen Cluster[edit]
One world within the subsector is a member of the Chosen Cluster, a trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector. It is a small Main.
- It has 11 member systems.
- One coreward world is a member of the Irrgh Manifest, a Vargr polity.
- All of its other worlds lie within Balkanized Space.
A basic chart of the Cluster is shown, right:
- Worlds lying within the Cluster are highlighted in tan.
Windhorn's Edge Trace[edit]
Three worlds within the subsector are members of the Windhorn's Edge Trace, a trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector. It formed the furthest spinward-coreward point of the Zira Sirka.
- It has 34 member systems.
- A few of its coreward worlds lie within the Irrgh Manifest, a Vargr polity.
- Its central worlds run through Balkanized Space.
- Some of its rimward worlds are members of the Imperium.

- Worlds lying on the Trace are highlighted in tan.

Subsector Timeline[edit]
Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:
- ca -250,000: The Ancients were active within the sector, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
- -9235: the Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
- -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
- -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
- -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
- ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
- -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
- The Year 0: to rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
- circa 26: the Empire of Varroerth is founded.
- early 100s: the Contract of Taarskoerzn is founded.
- 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the subsector.
- early 400s: the Irrgh Manifest is founded: it absorbs the Contract of Taarskoerzn.
- mid 500s: the Knokseng Confederation is founded.
- 869: the Glory of Taarskoerzn is founded. It splits the Irrgh Manifest.
- 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the subsector.
- 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the subsector becomes widely available.
- 1090: the Dzarrgh Federate is formed.
Later Eras[edit]
In 1133, both the Irrgh Manifest and the Glory of Taarskoerzn were destroyed by Virus as it moved along the edge of the Windhorn Rift.
