The Gulf Sector is considered to be a part of the Distant Fringe. It forms a part of the Empty Stars.
Description
A sector located to rimward of the Distant Fringe proper. It lies within the Great Void and is almost entirely rift density. Only one subsector (Liradi Subsector, subsector A) is directly accessible to conventional jump-2 vessels travelling from the Distant Fringe proper. One other subsector (Ikhasha Subsector, subsector D) is accessible via the Sath Ith-Saa-Ka Waypoint in Far Home Sector. The positions and types of its stars have been cataloged as part of the University of Tal Varisa Deep Sky Program.

- Demon's Eye (1621 Far Home Sector). The intensely luminous blue supergiant star, lying around 20 parsecs to coreward, can be clearly seen from all of the worlds lying within Gulf Sector.
Political Astrography
No polities exist within Gulf Sector. The Sath Alliance claims sovereignty over all non-human areas of Deep Sector, a claim that provides them with an area of (albeit empty) territory that far exceeds that held by humans.
Demographics
Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) are found within Gulf Sector:
- Humaniti (Human races)
- Solomani (Major Race): 209,000 (97.76% of the population), descended from human refugees fleeing the Destruction of Terra. They refer to themselves as Terrans. They are entirely concentrated in the Liradi Trace
- Native Non-Human Races:
- Sath: 5000 (0.24% of the population), primarily found within the Sath Alliance in Far Home Sector. The Sath of Gulf Sector are entirely concentrated in the Hak'tha Spread.
- Temelik: within all regions that humans are found.
Native Sophonts (NILs)
No sophont species are known to have originated within Gulf Sector. It is considered unlikely that any NILs inhabit its systems.
Linguistic Topography
The following languages are among the most commonly spoken within Gulf Sector:
- Fleet Anglic. Properly, it is called Old High Anglic. The language of the First Confederation and the Last Armada. It is no longer widely spoken outside of academic circles but is the root tongue of a number of other languages:
- Anglish The language of the Firstworlds. A direct descendant of Fleet Anglic, widely spoken throughout the Distant Fringe region. Most people know a few words and phrases of Anglish.
- Padori. A direct descendant of Fleet Anglic, widely spoken within the Pador-Aredian cluster and common throughout rimward half of Far Home Sector.
- Kha’thak. The primary language of the Shikh’aa Faction of the Sath.
Capitals
Ikhasha, a low population garden world.
Interstellar Relations
No polities exist within Gulf Sector. The Sath Alliance lay claim to all non-human areas, including the Great Void, though enforcing such a claim is impossible. The Sath of the Hak'tha Spread belong to the Shikh’aa Faction of the Sath Alliance.
