Riftspan Reaches Sector is claimed by the Aslan Hierate.

• The Great Rift sweeps diagonally through the Riftspan Reaches from rimward-spinward to coreward-trailing.
• Thus, worlds are few and far between, and the sector contains a mere 108 systems.
• Despite their sparsity, these few worlds form a crucial path of interstellar "stepping stones" across the Rift.
• Modern jump-5 craft can traverse the Rift with relative ease.
• For centuries, however, the crossing required nearly two ftahea (approximately 640 Imperial days) even for jump-3 vessels.

Description (Specifications)

This sector connects the Aslan Hierate heartland to the Aslan Trans-Rift Colonies.

History & Background (Dossier)

Since the Rift's first crossing in 1185 Aslan (-1044 Imperial) by the explorer Ktouwaatritoikh, traffic through the Reaches has gradually increased.

• The densely packed region of stars on the Rift's far side drew ihatei and merchants alike, and the intervening worlds were slowly settled.

Native Sophonts (NIL): 1105

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

• Humaniti (Human Races)
  • None

• Non-Human Races
  • None. There are rumours that a civilization once existed on Ftuaktaol in the distant past, and some evidence has been presented at offworld universities. If so, they may have been Kursae.

• Terragens (Non-Human Terran Races)
  • None

Demographics: 1105

Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this area:

• Humaniti (Human Races)
  • Solomani
  • Vilani

• Non-Human Races
  • Aslan (Major Race)
  • Droyne (Major Race): Two known communities, on Teakhiru and Ahfatre.
  • Chirper: On three worlds; on two of these, the Chirpers are thought to have been transported by Aslan clans from elsewhere in the Hierate.
  • Salika (from 1120 onward)

• Terragens (Non-Human Terran Races)
  • None

• The non-sophont spacefaring lifeforms known as Alo'hei are found in this sector.

Historical Eras

General Overview: No information yet available.

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1116

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

• (-1044): The explorer Ktouwaatritoikh discovers a path through the Great Rift.
• (-750): The Aroaye'i clan challenge the Wahtoi for control of the Great Rift jump-5 route.

Politics & Diplomacy (Interstellar Relations)

The Aslan Hierate clearly dominates this astrographic region.

A complication of space travel in Aslan territory is the possibility of encounters with vessels of a hostile clan. When vessels belonging to clans which are at war come into contact, their actions are governed by the rules applicable to that particular clan war. A chase and battle might ensue; ritualized games like deliberate near-misses might take place; insults and threats might be exchanged; or nothing at all might happen.
