Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.

  • Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
  • Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.

The Llaezgaen Subsector has an estimated population in 1202 of approximately 2.0 billion, a decline of 96.6% from its Pre-Collapse population. Llaegharrgh has the highest population (800 million) as well as the highest tech level rating (10). The Llaezgaen subsector had an estimated population in 1120 of approximately 60.1 billion. Its highest population was 20 billion at Tughghorr and Vo Oeg. Llaegharrgh had the highest tech level (16).

The Llaegharrgh Chain

Many of the worlds of the subsector are members of the Llaegharrgh Chain, the largest and most important trade route within the region.

History & Background (Dossier)

Major Historical Events Timeline

Major events that have affected this sector and the wider region that it lies within:


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.

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.
