Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Llaezgaen Subsector.
- The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
- The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.

History & Background (Dossier)
Major Historical Events Timeline
Major events that have affected this sector and the wider region that it lies within:
- ca -250,000: The Ancients were active within the sector, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
- -9235: the Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
- -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
- -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
- -2404 to -2215: the human Interstellar Wars rage far to rimward. The region becomes increasingly neglected.
- -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
- ca -2350: the Foergaz Coalition, an early polity, collapses.
- -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man nominally administers the rimward worlds of the region. Conflicts escalate between Vargr and humans.
- -2400s: Vargr raiding into the coreward regions of the Ziru Sirka. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
- -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man nominally administers a few worlds within the region. Conflicts escalate between Vargr and humans as the Vargr occupy former Ziru Sirka territory.
- ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
- -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
- The Year 0: to rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
- circa 26: the Empire of Varroerth is founded.
- 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the sector.
- mid 500s: the Knokseng Confederation is founded.
- 777: the Lair Protectorate is established.

- 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the sector becomes widely available.
Later Eras
Rebellion Era
In 1114, unhappy with the menacing attitude of Faarzgaen (704), the Llaeghskath Interacterate was formed by Llaegharrgh (604) and Ouskathoerz (406). Believing in technology and scientific thought, these worlds sought to pursue an independent course from the Empire of Varroerth. Many of their spinward neighbors joined them.
The religious leaders of Faarzgaen were so outraged by this development that they too seceded from the Empire to form the Jihad of Faarzgaen. The leaders despised the Interacterate for their "ungodly" beliefs and felt that they needed to be eradicated from existence. Enlisting the aid of some of their trailing neighbors, they went to war against the Llaeghskath Interacterate. Those worlds which would not willingly join with the Jihad were forcibly annexed.
The religion is centered around the god Faarzgaen. His worshipers believe that he communicates to them through feelings. If you felt hungry, you were supposed to eat. If you wanted to kill someone, you were being commanded by Faarzgaen to do just that. The Jihad was brutal, even to its own citizens. Heretics were put to death. No personal entertainment devices were permitted nor was there any money. Off-worlders were paid in hard assets such as precious metals, finished goods, and even slaves from captured worlds.
With the exception of a temporary cease-fire in 1118, enacted when word of Strephon's death reached the region, the war was non-stop. The Jihad's devotion to eradicating the Interacterate was relentless. They might even have won the war were it not for a crucial mistake. The turning point came in 1125 when they decided that further expansion trailward was necessary (see Vorvoun for more details). The new regional governor, Gen Rungakh, was already annoyed with the ongoing feud. She issued a proclamation stating that neither group be allowed to expand any further. While the Interacterate complied, the Jihad did not. When the Jihad began to forcibly convert more worlds over to Faarzgaen, Rungakh began to retaliate by ordering all Jihad warships found outside of their 1125 boundaries to be attacked. Forced to fight a war on 2 fronts, the Jihad weakened.
The Collapse and Virus
In 1128, the Jihad agreed to another cease-fire. Negotiators stepped in to try and find a way to reintegrate both sides back into the Empire. During this time, the Jihad began to build more ships to recoup their losses. After 3 years of negotiating, the Jihad killed the peace negotiators from the Empire and the Interacterate and renewed the war.
The madness of the Jihad finally came to an end in 1135. The massive Vampire Fleet from Anghikh and Kaegrogz invaded and annihilated Faarzgaen. The planetoids themselves were pounded so heavily that they shattered into pieces. Even the inhabitable Jihad worlds suffered heavily. The death toll was in the tens of billions.
The Llaegskath Interacterate also took a beating from Virus. However, unlike the Jihad of Faarzgaen, it survived. Only Llaegharrgh (TL10) and Vo Dikh (TL8) remained intact enough to carry on the name of the state. Other worlds have begun to rebound from the devastation. Before the end of the decade, it is hoped that Ae Uer (302), Taktelugh (305), Sa Thaen (306), Urr Orr (401), To Oukan (502), Ouskathoerz (406), and Ung Uksa (606) will be able to, and want to, rejoin the Interacterate.
