'''Thaku Fung''' Sector, also known as ''[[Zhiaqrqiats Sector]]'' and formerly known as ''[[Sigma Zephyrus Sector]]'', is located coreward of the [[Vargr Extents]], on that region's spinward end. This is the edge of what is usually considered [[Charted Space]].

==== Nature of Rifts ====
 +
Locally at least, a [[rift]] is an [[Astrography|astrographic]] concept based purely on [[Jump Drive]] performance.
 +
 
 +
[[Rift|Rift regions]] generally relate to regular commercial traffic and the way it travels between destinations. Merchant vessels with [[Jump Drive|jump-4 drives]] or better are fairly rare because of the higher costs involved in operating the vessel, the lower revenue generated by the reduced cargo space due to the need for large [[fuel tank]]s, and the relative paucity of [[high Technology World|technologically advanced]] maintenance facilities within the region. As a result, the vast majority of merchant vessels are capable of [[Jump Drive|jump-3]] or less.
 +
* Large areas that cannot be crossed by [[Jump Drive|Jump-3-capable]] vessels are denoted as ''[[rift]]s''.
 +
* The exact nature and borders of a [[rift]] may be determined by specific circumstances, tradition, or other locally important criteria.
 +
 
 +
In order to qualify as a [[rift]], the region must have ten or more contiguous hexes. Many areas have minor void regions that are too small to qualify as a true rift, but are still significant enough to seriously hamper and channel interstellar travel.

Thaku Fung Sector, also known as Zhiaqrqiats Sector and formerly known as Sigma Zephyrus Sector, is located coreward of the Vargr Extents, on that region's spinward end. This is the edge of what is usually considered Charted Space.

Description (Specifications)

The Vargr Extents and Zhodani Consulate both make claims to this region, but of the two, only the Vargr have colonies actually within 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. Most of Charted Space still thought it was mostly barren until 1103, when an IISS scout reached Havensmith and got away again with sector maps.

Toponyms: 1105

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

Third Imperium Thaku Fung Third Imperium
Aslan Zhiaqrqiats Aslan Hierate
Droyne Unknown Droyne Oytrip Yatroy

Solomani Sigma Zephyrus Solomani Confederation
Vargr Thaku Fung Vargr Extents
Vilani Thaku Fung Third Imperium
Zhodani Zhiaqrqiats Zhodani Consulate
  • The Zhodani know this as the Zhiaqrqiats Sector.
  • Solomani once knew this as Sigma Zephyrus Sector.

The following languages are among the most commonly used within this astrographic region:

Nature of Rifts

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based purely on Jump Drive performance.

Rift regions generally relate to regular commercial traffic and the way it travels between destinations. Merchant vessels with jump-4 drives or better are fairly rare because of the higher costs involved in operating the vessel, the lower revenue generated by the reduced cargo space due to the need for large fuel tanks, and the relative paucity of technologically advanced maintenance facilities within the region. As a result, the vast majority of merchant vessels are capable of jump-3 or less.

  • Large areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
  • The exact nature and borders of a rift may be determined by specific circumstances, tradition, or other locally important criteria.

In order to qualify as a rift, the region must have ten or more contiguous hexes. Many areas have minor void regions that are too small to qualify as a true rift, but are still significant enough to seriously hamper and channel interstellar travel.

History & Background (Dossier)

By coincidence (as detailed in Solomani Preserve), as of 1105 most of the sophonts of this sector use the same year numbers as the Imperial Calendar.

The history of this sector is largely the history of the Solomani Preserve. See that entry for more information.

Native Sophonts: 1105

The following races (sophont species) are believed to have originated within this area:

  2. Alleg: Xx: "Solomani Preserve Break Worlds" SPBW
  3. Alleg: Na: "Non-Aligned, Human-dominated" NaHu
  4. Alleg: Va: "Non-Aligned, Vargr-dominated" NaVa
  5. Alleg: Rc: "Rho Cluster" RhCl
  6. Alleg: Sp: "Solomani Preserve" SoPr

Many of the unclaimed worlds are under the protection of the Solomani Preserve, which keeps them uninhabited to serve as a buffer against the majority of Charted Space.

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.
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.
