Thaku Fung Sector, also known as Zhiaqrqiats Sector and formerly known as Sigma Zephyrus Sector, is coreward of the spinward end of the Vargr Extents.
Meta-History & Background[edit]
Thaku Fung Sector is an underdeveloped sector.
- John G. Wood and Adrian Tymes have helped to develop this area.
- In 1985, Zhodani (Alien Module) was published.
- In 1990, Alien - Vilani & Vargr was published.
- It has NOT been T5 Second Survey reviewed nor updated to T5 standards.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Vargr Extents and Zhodani Consulate both make claims to this sector, but of the two, only the Vargr Extents has colonies actually in 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, but most of Charted Space still thought this sector was mostly barren until 1103, when an IISS scout reached Havensmith and got away with sector maps.

Territorial Overview: 1105[edit]
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.
