Dao, subsector F of Extolian, contains 32 worlds with an estimated combined population of 10 billion, a per capita income of Cr1,364, and a total economy of BCr14,866. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr896 through 23 starports (8 Class A, 10 Class B, 3 Class C, 2 Class D) employing 157,810 people. Driving this interstellar trade are five Agricultural (Ag) worlds, six Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, two Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, five Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Dao maintain seven Naval bases, three Military bases, and one Hiver Embassy. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 4 and 12). The highest technology level is 15 at Anrayskosk (Extolian 1017) and Irloorackenent (Extolian 1311).

Dao, subsector F of Extolian, contains 48 stars and 336 identified planets; 17 monostellar systems, 14 binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 27 of the 32 systems (84%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, two Desert (De) worlds, no Garden (Ga) worlds, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, six Poor (Po) worlds, two Vacuum (Va) worlds, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Dao has an estimated population of 10 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, five Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 11 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, eight Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Nesya (Extolian 1313). The population consists primarily of 8 sophont groups including five native sophonts.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Hive Federation moved into the region relatively recently (the Ithklur project to trailing consumed their attention for a millennium), and now the Federation Development Agency is involved in a number of uplift projects with local Minor Race populations. Fittingly, the Ithklur are often involved as support.

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1105

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this subsector:

• -4678: Hivers invent the jump drive, thus becoming a Major Race.
• -3986: The Hivers are shocked to encounter the Ithklur, a race far more violent than any encountered previously.
• Circa -2900: After a millennium of Manipulation, the Ithklur take their place as an important member of the Hiver interstellar community.
• Circa -2130: The worlds that will become the Corona Regnum are settled as a Terran cultural region. These Corona Arc colonies make contact with local Minor Races and, in time, the Hivers.
• -2029 to -2013: The Hiver-K'kree War threatens the Hiver community.
  • -2023 to -2018: As a consequence of organizing defence during the war, the modern Hive Federation is codified.
  • Technological aid to nations like the Krotan Primacy and the Sha Elden Lith Kindriu results in a "hardening" of the K'kree-Hiver border.
  • The K'kree surrender and withdrawal is claimed to be the result of Hiver psychohistorical manipulation. Ithklur history, in the form of the Dikrah Kiradgi, records a different version of events.
• Circa -1550: A reportedly zealous response to K'kree probes leads to the first declared Corona Regnum, as the systems of the Corona unite to stand against the larger threat.
  • This first Regnum lasts roughly two centuries before collapsing in on itself.
• The Year 0: Far to spinward, the Third Imperium is founded.
• 410: To aid in administration of the Young Worlds, the Hive Federation capital is moved to Glea.
• 995 to 1065: The Imperial Second Survey.
