History & Background (Dossier)
This sector is defined by the long-past Hiver-K'kree War. As the K'kree crusade moved into the region, Hiver influence allowed a general resistance to coalesce from local and immigrant cultures. In the aftermath of the war, with an agreed border and a new desire on the part of the K'kree to have no further dealings with Hivers, the sector settled down into a long, uneasy peace. The cultures here are all at least unofficially Hiver allies, largely by necessity, as without the Hive Federation to balance them, the Two Thousand Worlds would annex the region.
Two native races -- the energy-efficient Krotan and the nocturnal, carnivorous Lithkind -- have been able to build extensive and integrated interstellar nations in the "pocket" left between Hiver and K'kree space. The Krotan are on good terms with many Hive Federation races (but not the Hivers themselves); the Lithkind are less trusting, viewing the Federation as more of a necessary evil. A third force in the region is the semi-nomadic Humans of Vilani descent known as the Lishun Suugugki, whose cultural region overlaps with much of Krotan and Lithkind space -- the result of plans to settle here that were interrupted by the K'kree-Hiver war, and put on hold indefinitely as the group took to living comfortably aboard ship.

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1116
These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this sector:
- -4678: Hivers invent the jump drive, thus becoming a Major Race.
- -4100: Hiver explorers discover Loza'tch and the Za'tachk civilization.
- -4050: An exploratory Hiver vessel arrives in the Ofilaq system and discovers the Gurvin.
- -3986: The Hivers are shocked to encounter the Ithklur, a race far more violent than any encountered previously.
- Circa -3800: Hiver scouts discover Krota. To manipulate the Krotan shoals into a more teachable species, the Hivers bombard Krota with planetoids, setting off severe tectonic and climatic shifts that force widespread change and adaptation upon the Krotan people.
- -3548: Eager to present a united front to acquire jump-2 drive from the Hivers, the Gurvin form the Gurvin Interstellar Democratic Republic and make an official request to join the nascent Hive Federation and be provided with jump-2. The Hivers declare the Gurvin an "adult" species and agree.
- Circa -2900: After a millennium of Manipulation, the Ithklur take their place as an important member of the Hiver interstellar community.
- Circa -2200: The Krotan reach TL-7, launching interplanetary flights. The Hivers make their first direct contact with Krota.
- -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.
- 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.
