The [[Aslan Hierate]] controls over 230 worlds, while the [[Solomani Confederation]] controls over 100. A larger buffer zone of independent worlds is located in the coreward-centre region of the sector. The independent planets are highly diverse, politically, linguistically, and otherwise. The sector contains two small multi-world federations, the [[Union of Harmony]] and the [[Gerontocracy of Ormine]].

The Aslan consider Dark Nebula -- or I'aheako as they call it -- part of their ''Tyeao Eakh'' (Ancestral Worlds) region. As noted, their homeworld is here on the current trailing edge of their territory. (The [[Vilani]] spread mostly in one direction because of the limitations of jump-1 drive, but for most others, the stars were more evenly spread.) Most agree that this is because Aslan developed jump drive relatively late, and found that humans had already claimed most of the worlds to coreward and trailing of [[Kusyu (world)|Kusyu]].

==== Hyades Cluster ====

[[File:Chart Hyades Cluster Basic 1.png|300 px|right|thumb|Hyades Cluster]]
 +
[[Hyades Cluster|The Hyades]] is the nearest open cluster to [[Terra]], lying around [[Parsec|47 parsecs]] from [[Sol (star)|Sol]] and just across the rim trailing corner of the Dark Nebula Sector, at the borders of Magyar Sector and Canopus Sector: it is located within the [[spinward]]-[[coreward]] quadrant of [[Canopus Sector]], to rimtrailing, close to the border with [[Magyar Sector]]. It consists of a roughly spherical group of hundreds of stars sharing the same age, place of origin, chemical characteristics, and motion through space. When viewed from the surface of [[Terra]], [[Hyades Cluster|the Hyades]] form part of the head of the constellation Taurus, the Bull.
 +
* The Cluster is visible to the naked eye on worlds across the region.
 +
 +
[[File:Hyades Cluster Core.jpg|250 px]] [[File:Taurus Constellation Terra.png|250 px]]
 +
 +
The core of the Cluster is a little more than [[Parsec|two parsecs]] across and contains more than 70 stars, including a number of blue [[Star#Stellar Evolution - Post Main Sequence|stellar giants]]. The tidal influence of the stars at its core can be measured around [[Parsec|ten parsecs]] away from the core region. The extended halo of stars associated with the cluster (stars sharing very similar physical characteristics and motion) extends [[rimward]] deep into [[Canopus Sector]], to [[spinward]] into the [[Ustral Quadrant Sector|Ustral Quadrant]] and Dark Nebula sectors, [[coreward]] into [[Magyar Sector]], and [[trailing]] into [[Aldebaran Sector]] and the [[Solomani Rim Sector|Solomani Rim]].  Many of the stars within this region are in the process of escaping from the cluster.

Dark Nebula Sector is the location of the Aslan homeworld, which lies at the very edge of Aslan space, rather than in the middle of a sphere of influence as is more common with other starfaring major races.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Aslan Hierate controls over 230 worlds, while the Solomani Confederation controls over 100. A larger buffer zone of independent worlds is located in the coreward-centre region of the sector. The independent planets are highly diverse, politically, linguistically, and otherwise. The sector contains two small multi-world federations, the Union of Harmony and the Gerontocracy of Ormine.

The Aslan consider Dark Nebula -- or I'aheako as they call it -- part of their Tyeao Eakh (Ancestral Worlds) region. As noted, their homeworld is here on the current trailing edge of their territory. (The Vilani spread mostly in one direction because of the limitations of jump-1 drive, but for most others, the stars were more evenly spread.) Most agree that this is because Aslan developed jump drive relatively late, and found that Humans had already claimed most of the worlds to coreward and trailing of Kusyu.

  • It is noteworthy that in order to expand in the direction left open to them, Aslan had to develop jump-2 almost immediately after inventing jump drive. Many small clusters of Aslan worlds would be isolated with only jump-1 drive available.

Toponyms: 1105[edit]

This sector has been known by different names to different groups over its existence including the following:

Dark Nebula Sector Names
Culture Toponym Polity
Third Imperium Dark Nebula Third Imperium
Aslan I'aheako Aslan Hierate
Droyne Unknown Droyne Oytrip Yatroy
Hiver Dark Nebula Hive Federation
K'kree Unknown Two Thousand Worlds
Solomani Dark Nebula Solomani Confederation
Vargr Dark Nebula Vargr Extents
Vilani Dark Nebula Third Imperium
Zhodani I'aheako Zhodani Consulate

Linguistic Topography: 1105[edit]

In the politically neutral or backwater areas of Dark Nebula, nearly every individual world has a local language spoken nowhere else and some of those worlds have multiple such languages.

Some of the common languages found across the region are as follows:

Languages of Humaniti:
» Various secondary languages of Terran origin can be heard on Solomani worlds.
Languages of Major non-Human Races:
» Aslanic: A patois of the Aslan's dominant language of Trokh, utilising Trokh grammar and morphology but with phonology more suited to Human vocalisation. Commonly used by Human societies that have long had contact and exchange with Aslan, noticeably those aided and uplifted by Aslan during the Long Night.
Languages of Minor non-Human Races:

Hyades Cluster[edit]

Hyades Cluster

The Hyades is the nearest open cluster to Terra, lying around 47 parsecs from Sol and just across the rim trailing corner of the Dark Nebula Sector, at the borders of Magyar Sector and Canopus Sector: it is located within the spinward-coreward quadrant of Canopus Sector, to rimtrailing, close to the border with Magyar Sector. It consists of a roughly spherical group of hundreds of stars sharing the same age, place of origin, chemical characteristics, and motion through space. When viewed from the surface of Terra, the Hyades form part of the head of the constellation Taurus, the Bull.

  • The Cluster is visible to the naked eye on worlds across the region.

The core of the Cluster is a little more than two parsecs across and contains more than 70 stars, including a number of blue stellar giants. The tidal influence of the stars at its core can be measured around ten parsecs away from the core region. The extended halo of stars associated with the cluster (stars sharing very similar physical characteristics and motion) extends rimward deep into Canopus Sector, to spinward into the Ustral Quadrant and Dark Nebula sectors, coreward into Magyar Sector, and trailing into Aldebaran Sector and the Solomani Rim. Many of the stars within this region are in the process of escaping from the cluster.

Sector Summary: 1105[edit]

The Dark Nebula sector has 487 worlds with an estimated combined population of 936 billion, a per capita income of Cr5,436, and a total economy of BCr5,088,403. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr10,650 through 390 starports (79 Class A, 121 Class B, 135 Class C, 55 Class D) employing 1,836,300 people. Driving this interstellar trade are 60 Agricultural (Ag) worlds, 70 Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, 40 Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, 57 Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, 38 Rich (Ri) worlds, and 24 Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Dark Nebula maintain 47 Military bases, 38 Naval bases, nine Clan bases, and seven Tlaukhu bases. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 5 and 11). The highest technology level is 14 at Uaoya (Dark Nebula 1305), Linate (Dark Nebula 3204), Ftyuealoi (Dark Nebula 0416), Nichekoralo (Dark Nebula 1512), Khtyu (Dark Nebula 0827), and Kusyu (Dark Nebula 1226).

The Dark Nebula sector contains 712 stars and 5,539 identified planets; 277 monostellar systems, 196 binary systems, 13 trinary systems, and one system with four or more stars. 424 of the 487 systems (87%) have native gas giants. There are 12 Asteroid (As) belts, no Desert (De) worlds, 26 Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, 57 Poor (Po) worlds, 110 Vacuum (Va) worlds, and 24 Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Dark Nebula has an estimated population of 936 billion distributed across 35 High population (Hi) worlds, 54 Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 222 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, 114 Low population (Lo) worlds, and seven Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Troi' (Dark Nebula 1923), Bacci (Dark Nebula 1123), Kusyu (Dark Nebula 1226), Oiirl (Dark Nebula 2430), Eikhilua (Dark Nebula 1236), and Treege (Dark Nebula 3132). The population primarily consists of 8 sophont groups including five native sophonts.
