The state of war between the Ruler of Five and the Third Empire of Gashikan has taken a turn into the private sectors of trade and commerce. Corporate wars are the majority of conflict in Nikhirgireki Subsector. Worlds on both sides of the two-parsec border vie for the trade contracts out of Meshan and Meshan Sectors. Espionage, sabotage and other dirty tricks perpetrated upon the economy create a roller coaster ride in the markets with all involved packing antacids before entering the bargaining pits.

The wild card in this commercial tit-for-tat comes in the form of new arrivals, the Irilitok from the Julian Protectorate. For a few years now, Red Zoned Tsaeousorrg (Gzaekfueg 2940) has stunned the surrounding worlds by allowing an Irilitok sub-species embassy to open. Corporations, trade liners and even the Menderes Corporation is looking at projected yields if the Urzaeng prove themselves as amicable trade partners. If so, then Tsaeousorrg will become rich acting as the bottleneck between the Urzaeng and Irilitok a fact that is not lost on the Third Empire of Gashikan who are moving swiftly to poison the meeting of the minds involved.
