Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Zhodani Consulate controls a clear majority of this astrographic region.
- While some human traders from other parts of Charted Space visit the area under heavy supervision and monitoring, the vast majority of traffic on the spaceways is from the Zhodani and to a lesser extent, the Vargr.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
This area is only two sectors out from Zhdant and has long been a Zhodani possession.
The Zhodani have had a presence here for over 6,000 Imperial standard years. However, the Consulate's trailing expansion has been more cautious than colonization patterns among Vilani or Solomani, focusing on the mental health of the colonists and ensuring that those settlements selected would be stable ones. As a result, many worlds in the subsector's trailing region were open for Vargr expansion without conflict.
