Massilia Sector is old and well-established with a heavy Terran influence in its many indigenous cultures.

  • This is a rich trade sector with a large population and a several-thousand year record of civilization.


Description (Specifications)

While the sector is not rich in NILs, it does have a very powerful Minor Human Race, the Geonee, within it. The Geonee have long been an independent and technologically advanced culture.

  • They have been quarreling with every other human race that has come through the sector for millennia and despite biological facts on the books, insist that they are a different species than other branches of Humaniti.
  • The politics of the Geonee are always at the front of Massilia and any conqueror needs to heed their court, so to speak.

Toponyms: 1105

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

Massilia Sector Names
Culture Toponym Polity
Third Imperium Massilia Third Imperium
Aslan Massila Aslan Hierate
Droyne Unknown Droyne Oytrip Yatroy
Hiver Massilia Hive Federation
K'kree Unknown Two Thousand Worlds
Solomani Massilia Solomani Confederation
Vargr Massila Vargr Extents
Vilani Masilaa Third Imperium
Zhodani Massilia Zhodani Consulate
  • This sector was known as Masilaa Sector during the First Imperium.
  • The Terrans altered this name to produce a word familiar to them.
  • Some species prefer the alternative of Massila Sector.

Linguistic Topography: 1105

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

  • Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
  • Irkonee: The predominate language of the Geonee.
  • Llyrnian language: The native language of the Llyrnian race, noted as allies of the Geonee.
  • Oynprith: The ritualistic, ceremonial language of Droyne communities throughout Charted Space.
  • Vilani (language): One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
  • Wawa-pakekeke-wawa: The common, precise and bureaucratic language of the Bwaps. Spoken on Bwap-dominated planets and by government functionaries on any world lucky enough to retain a dedicated Bwap workforce.

The long history of exploration and settlement by multiple Human empires has left the modern sector with a diverse collection of system names; some are Anglic or derived from other Solomani languages; some are Vilani, others are Irkonee or Kadli.

History & Background (Dossier)

Empires come and go, but the Geonee remain.

  • Their culture is built upon many secrets, much deliberate caution, some say paranoia, and a rock solid belief in their own abilities.
  • Many wonder at the apparent ease with which the Geonee deal with the enigmatic Droyne and Chirper worlds. There is a secret waiting to be unraveled in that simple fact.
  • Many petitions for an Autonomous Geonee Zone have yet to be granted. There is a story under the surface of those facts as well.
  • Many forget about the other Minor Human Race in the sector, the Kaggushus, who keep a low profile, seemingly intentionally.
  • Massilia is largely a culturally monolithic sector, whom many have settled in, and yet never really looked under the surface.

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

Historical Eras

General Overview: No information yet available.

History-Era: Milieu 1100

Technological progress has been rapid on most planets, and regression to pre-industrial levels is non-existent. Twenty-four worlds scattered evenly through the sector are at tech level 16. Thus, virtually any world can trade for highly advanced items. Some of these items are terribly expensive, but this is no deterrent to large shipping corporations cutting deals. Buyers elsewhere will pay even higher prices for the best merchandise.

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1116

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this sector:

  • -9270: The Geonee discover a derelict starship of the Ancients in one of the Shiwonee system's planetoid belts.
  • -9240: Research pays off, allowing the Geonee to copy jump drive technology and build starships.
  • -9100: A member of the Geonee ruling body, the Meeralo Council, is able to gain enough support to force a more centralized form of government among their colonies. Bradasee I declares the Geonee Empire.
  • Circa -8600: Vilani-settled parts of Massilia Sector are under the formal supervision of the Sharurshid. Traders from this bureau discover that the first Geonee jump drive was copied from a derelict. This is a serious blow to Vilani respect for the Geonee.
  • -4900: The Geonee are defeated by the Vilani in the Consolidation Wars and their worlds incorporated into the Ziru Sirka.
  • (-4014 to -2423): Pax Vilanica
  • (-2404 to -2215): Interstellar Wars
  • -2204: Rule of Man Founded; Vilani Imperium and Terran Confederation both defunct.
  • -2177: Emperor Hiroshi II begins transfer of all governmental functions from both Vland and Dingir to Kaggushus, in centrally located Massilia.
  • -250: Geonee worlds that have survived the Long Night are able to launch space expeditions once again.
  • -190: A collection of Geonee representatives, coordinated by the traditional Meeralo Council, meet at Prindee and declare the Second Geonee Confederation.
  • -150: Advanced scouts from the Sylean Federation meet with the Geonee.
  • (0): Third Imperium Founded
  • (76 to 120): The Third Imperium's Pacification Campaigns are waged to unify nearby space under its rule.
    • Circa 80: The Imperial Navy makes a show of force in Shiwonee Subsector. The Geonee worlds accept Imperial rule. Adding insult to injury, Imperial authorities place the subsector capital at Tlasov (Massilia 1328) rather than Shiwonee itself.

Politics & Diplomacy (Interstellar Relations)

Before the Vilani arrived, the area was a jungle of minor states that somehow largely got along with each other. The Droyne of those early days were far more outgoing and once ran a wide-ranging trade network, before the Ziru Sirka destroyed what once was and replaced it with the Bureaux system.

  • Trade and diplomatic relations never quire returned to those earlier, more idyllic days. Now powers came and went, the area survived the Long Night, and generally grew more distant.
  • Some of these ancient records describe all sorts of things that no longer openly exist, a plethora of alien civilizations with many NILs, vast numbers or surviving Ancients facilities, and a number of other legends...
  • Who knows if these stories contain any truth?
  • Whatever may be, the surviving polities of the region all remain wary of conquerors and many Geonee, on one hand, are loyal Imperialists with long, loyal records, while, at the same time, the Geonee have never hidden their open dissent to the heavy hand of the Third Imperium.
