Vanguard Reaches style="width: 250px; height: 350px; border: solid 1px black; float: right; clear: left"

Vanguard Reaches Sector is possibly the only remaining sector in the entirety of Charted Space where minor mercenaries and soldier-adventurers still have the means and the opportunities to carve out their own personal empires, without the possibilities of major opposition or interference by outside powers.

  • Piracy is still endemic to many regions, many of them privateers in the secret employ of various states, and petty territorial wars rage on some of the more remote worlds.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

Vanguard Reaches Sector is a dynamic frontier region where multiple races, cultures, and societies mix and blend. Many Zhodani claim it as their frontier. Many Vargr assert that it is a spinward extension of the Vargr Extents, a sort of "Spinward Extents", while the native, aboriginal indigenes feel a little differently...

Historical Eras[edit]

History-General Overview: No information yet available.

History-Era: Milieu 1100[edit]

The Vanguard Reach is a remote nowhere. In the antebellum period it was too far from any of the major powers. It was peripheral even to the Frontier Wars: Zhodani and Imperial military planners steadfastly refused to waste ships and resources in trying to influence the sector. Much of this disinterest was due to the sector's unusually low stellar density. Most of the sector's worlds and civilizations are in the four coreward most subsectors, or along the Beyond interface. The further one goes away from those regions, the fewer and farther between habitable worlds become, until one reaches the Helix Rift in the lower spinward-rimward quarter.

Needless to say, this scattering discouraged much development or political organization within the heart of the subsector. The remoteness of many worlds attracted many fringe religions and cults as well as political refugees to settle here, none of whom had anything in common with each other except a shared desire to be left alone. Aside from the Colonnade Administrative District (CAD) and the Corellans at the flanks, the sector was an impoverished frontier of no consequence, with no prospects and no value.

All of this changed with the Collapse. The new Regency needed to foster trade and development to maintain the Quarantine, and foster civilization against future regression. The development of the jump-2 route known variously as the Gold Road or the Mortal Coil soon brought Regency and Corellan traders. The Aslan, already having a tenuous foothold in the rim interface, intensified trade with the Altarean Confederation and the CAD. The sector's resources, once too far away to be of value, were priceless. Planets that the inhabitants wouldn't waste their time to fight over became the bloody battlegrounds of rival powers and their advanced military forces. The local rednecks suddenly found themselves popular, newly rich and coveted by previously disinterested outsiders.

  • The local Aslan came to be led by the Aokhalte, who post-Collapse made the region their main power center. Their advances have been slowed considerably by their wars in neighboring sectors, and by the aggressiveness of the Seieakh bloc.
  • The Beggars' Crusade is a bizarre and secretive pseudo-religious order found on many of the Reaches' non-aligned worlds, where their members pursue arcane agendas known only to the Crusade's inner sanctum.
  • The Corellans are mostly interested in reaping the rich trade that wends its way through the sector en route to either The Beyond and the Regency, the CAD or the Aslan.
  • The Murians are just plain furious with the presence of the Aslan, and have been building up their military for a possible confrontation over their mutual borders.

Trade Routes (Economic Astrography)[edit]

Independent Corporations[edit]

A number of independent corporations operate within the sector, including:

  • Hyperion Lines: A holding company that has become a de facto government, controlling the Hyperion League. It is administered by the Lupeski family.
  • Portmanteau Shipping Services: Best known as a shipping line, it also owns shipyards at Baixing and Haapamaki, producing both civilian and military starship models. The company was founded as Port Shipping Services in 1049; it grew through many mergers and acquisitions, changing to Portmanteau Shipping Services (PSS) in 1077.

Other Astrographic Features[edit]

Stellar Distribution[edit]

The Vanguard Reaches Sector is noted for its nine giant stars. The bright giant Gennaken of the Puelche system is an M0 II star with a mass greater than twice that of Sol. The other eight giants are K-type or M-type, representing Sol-sized main sequence stars nearing the end of their fusion-producing lifespans.

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Vanguard Reaches Sector, 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 sector and far beyond.
