Irikusk Subsector is subsector I of Far Home Sector.
Description / Specifications
Irikusk subsector is named for the Irikusk system and its red giant primary star. The spinward and coreward regions of the subsector are dominated by rift regions and contain mysterious "jump shoals" , while its rimward and trailing regions are dotted with scattered systems and crossed by trade routes. Kuyt is a major trade hub and is an important shipbuilder: it is the de facto capital of the subsector.

Linguistic Topography
The following languages are the most commonly spoken within Irikusk subsector:
- 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. Most people know a few words and phrases of Anglish.
- Meranto. The language of the Rimward Federation, closely related to Fleet Anglic. It is not widely spoken outside of the Pel Avena cluster – many native Meranto speakers can also speak Anglish.
- Jitsathu. A language of Halcyon Sector. It is most common in the spinward-rimward quadrant of Far Home Sector, particularly around the Wolfs Tail Star Lane.
