The
Spinward Marches (Zhodani:
Tloql) is the Imperium’s farthest frontier sector, containing 439
star systems divided along a coreward/rimward line by the Imperial border.
The region is dominated by two major powers: the Imperial Spinward Marches
sector apparatus administered from Mora (Spinward Marches 3124) and the
frontier provinces of the Zhodani Consulate administered from Cronor
(Spinward Marches 0304).
In the
independent territory between the two powers lie four smaller interstellar
nations: the Federation of Arden, the Sword Worlds Confederation, the Border
Worlds (a splinter state cut from the Sword Worlds during the Fifth Frontier
War), and the Darrian Confederation. Each follows its own diplomatic line
designed to maintain independence from both the Zhodani and the Imperium.
The Spinward
Marches has been settled since the 400s and is still a frontier sector.
High-tech worlds are scattered among empty, fallow worlds; there is
potential for exploration, exploitation, and development for centuries to
come.
The Sector is about 62%
Imperial controlled with worlds belonging to various factions:
- Independent
- Zhodani Consulate
- Darrian Confederation
- Sword Worlds
- Client States
Astrography and travel in the
Marches is dominated by the Spinward Main, a chain of 223 systems accessible
by Jump-1 which exists in 15 of the Marches 16 sectors. |
