The Beyond Sector

History

Beyond Sector was for most of its history a distant backwater. Located far behind the Great Rift on the opposite side of both the Ziru Sirka and the Rule of Man, no serious settlement was attempted until the Long Night. Solomani colonists fleeing hardship and chaos made their way across the Great Rift in a number of waves between -800 and -150, waves that included the seeds for the later  Darrian  and Sword World nations. 

It was settled in four great waves: Nakris, Corellian, Garronean and Meizirnian. After the rise of the Third Imperium, two more waves, Florian and Marrekeshite, added their numbers to the sector’s already diverse population. And in the 500s, Aslan Ihatei began settling the trail-rim corner of the sector. Despite its rich worlds and untapped resources, the sector was still rather isolated from the Imperial or Zhodani mainstreams, and most of the settlers had to rely upon their own devices for development. Only with the Aslan Ihatei invasions of the pre-Collapse period, and the Spinward Accords, did Beyond become even marginally important to the rest of Charted Space. Traditionally, the states of Beyond were non-aligned in the Imperium-Consulate conflict. Privately most of the sectors Solomani descended inhabitants loathed the Zhodani, and often attacked Consulate shipping out of their own volition. The Imperium was respected but irrelevant to the political situation of the sector. The Aslan were either feared or respected, or both, as the local clans were (and still are) divided into warring factions most of the time. The main powers in the Sector are the Corellian League and the Federation of Garrone, two states that have clashed for centuries for political dominance over the sector, and the Aslan, who make up a trifecta of conflict and intrigue. The Regency is a distant power, whose main role is in keeping these powers from restarting their disastrous Pre-Collapse war that left much of the rimward part of the sector a ruin in places.
