Vilani Main
The Vilani Main or Arshukaa Sagalaa (Anglic: Arshukaa Sagalaa), one of the largest chains of jump-1 worlds in the Imperial region, is the oldest, richest, and most cohesive section of the Imperium. Few of its worlds gave up interstellar travel during the Long Night.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The 985-system Vilani Main is one of the largest mains within Third Imperium space. It is home to myriad cultures interacting under the umbrella of Imperial rule, and has been travelled by the Vilani for millennia.
The Main passes through multiple sectors, extending from Windhorn rimward through Vland to Dagudashaag and spinward from Lishun through Gushemege and Reft along the border of the Great Rift, as well as touching the coreward borders of Ilelish and Verge. Despite its size, Core and Ilelish only have two systems each on the main.
Vland[edit]
Almost two-thirds of the planets in the Vland Sector can be reached from Vland itself (Vland 1717) by a series of one-parsec jumps.
In Vland, the main includes the sector capital as well as the subsector capitals at Akumid (Vlan 1628), Anarsi (Vlan 2205), Icuspin (Vlan 2931), Kagamira (Vlan 1519), Kasear (Vlan 1822), Luukon (Vlan 2829), Nulisud (Vlan 1937), Parsi (Vlan 0336), Shiigus (Vlan 2513), and Vhodan (Vlan 1208).
Lishun[edit]
The Main extends to trailing into spinward subsectors of Lishun, where it includes the subsector capitals of Paran (Lish 0934), Pryden (Lish 0316), Shuna (Lish 0227), and Shuun (Lish 0331).
Dagudashaag[edit]
In Dagudashaag, the twenty-three systems of the Vilani Main in Arnakhish (Dagu C) and Iiradu (Dagu D) are known locally as the Plague Way. This branch of the Main carries through into Kakadan (Vlan P).
The systems in coreward and central Mimu (Dagu A) form part of the branch known as the Siakmasfa Cluster -- or locally as the Slavers Reach Route. This carries through into Tansa (Gush D).
Other[edit]
Other subsector capitals hosted by the Vilani Main include Cyril (Reft 2738), Karnika (Core 0901), Kashmiir (Dagu 0103), Kukhun (Gush 3105), Orren Station (Gush 0630), Shakhamash (Gush 2716), Sharenga (Gush 2305), Sidur Ishki (Gush 1234), and Tikav (Gush 1426).
