We left off for the weekend to allow all the 40kids their chance to shitpost/smut up the board, but now people over twelve are returning to the board.

We only have 9 systems remaining to detail here for Sub-Sector A. This shouldn't take more than 1 or 2 threads.

As always the roll20 page has a list of completed systems and systems that need write-ups.

If anyone wants to alter or improve the write ups or systems please post what you would like to have done.

So, onward and upward, to Victory!

>>35802181
Got others than need a name, too, but one of them is our first capital candidate, so suitably impressive (or at least not totally derp) is called for.

Got em already. They were rolled and numbered with my dotmap baseline. I replace that data when you roll it and come up different, but otherwise I use it.

Icy. So 0604 then? unless we want to go back and give names to the other places until an anon joins the thread?

nvm, I have 0510 as Scrippit, and 0610 as Loja. Unless we want real names for them?

Looking a lot less blue

>>35803609
That's what I was thinking, if you have this crap system that's only good for tanking, it limits the thru traffic to those with need. Separates Feldspar and Nikorr from the rest of the Sub-Sector and let's them have their own will cold war off in the ass end of no-where. They don't connect to anywhere but More Dirt if we keep SSB as it is, and only have a 16-50% for Nikorr connect if we roll up a different Sub-Sector.
so E400000-0 for 0601?

Another Capital world possibility?
At A99A666-C or A99A555-C, correct?

Rolled 2, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 2 = 20 (7d6)

lets just roll that again

>>35803848
I can accept the 555 version, though that does argue to push the capital to Loja just based on population. With only hundreds of thousands, this world is no shipbuilding power.

>>35803861
A99A222-D or A99A111-D?


>ngecook Places

Rolled 3, 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 4 = 26 (7d6)

>>35803907
Those are worse.

One last try

>>35803897
I agree Loja makes more sense as a Capital, it's closer to the rest of the Quadrant if nothing else, so it will receive information and decrees from the rest of the Imperium faster than anywhere else. Unless we have SSA be the seat of the Imperium...which would be kind of cool, but would squash any infighting in the sub-sector, the IN would never stand for rebellion so close to the seat of the Imperium.

>>35803960
I'm not sure I see the Imperium being that large.

Young, looking towards the Core Worlds as the way to establish legitimacy, and as a result having lots of BS in the backfield.

Loja could be the original capital, and the home of the Imperium, but may be seeing politics to move the capital closer to the Core Worlds, on the optimistic notion that those will be conquered soon.

>>35804070
Grand ambitions, but not a grand reality. Rather like /tg/, really.

>>35804007
Okay so Imperium will be in it's early ages, just now branching out and consolidating it's power in the Sub-Sector. The Consulates are it's diplomatic missions or Embassies from other polities.

>>35804070
This works, Loja will be the capital for now, unless something closer to the core of the Sector Presents itself.

>Phorimb Twentieth
Looks like we know who the Emperor is...

>>35804118
I see a string of Imperial worlds stretching toward the Core Worlds. Not all are completely tame, or in safe neighborhoods. The sector is waking up around them. The Imperium was first, so it has an advantage, but there are some scary things out there in the dark.

>>35804171
That also works.

Imperium, The
One of the furthest regions the Core Lords reached before collapsing in on themselves would subsequently spawn one of the most successful successors. Known only as The Imperium, this state arose on Luja (“Mother” in the local dialect) at 0610. The shipwrights of Luja managed to hold on to the secrets of jump drive through the darkness and terror that followed the collapse of the Core Lords, but would take four centuries to climb up to where they could use those secrets.
The Imperium remains a modest state two centuries after building its first starships. Conflicting agendas split its populace, and its efforts. Two antagonistic neighbors, the sybaritic Sunshiners and the authoritarian and denialist Feldsparites, drain settlement and defense energy away from what many (but only barely a majority) see as the true destiny of the Imperium: to reclaim the Core Worlds and the mantle of the Core Lords.

>>35804336
Or maybe eight hundred years. My entry on the Core Lords says they collapsed a thousand years ago.

>>35804360
Set up a forum post on roll20 with what you have and we can get a discussion on it. 1000 years is a long time. I would have it be more like 3-500 years ago and the Imperium was struggling with rebuilding enough of it's infrastructure to start manufacturing starships again. The few tramp freighters not significant enough to be drafted into the civil war that tore apart the original Imperium being the only means of communication with Sector until Loja re-established itself.

Glad to see that this is still chugging along. Please do keep it up and please keep sharing it with us.

>>35804451
My thought is that the Core Lords (who may have called what they had an "empire", but were never an "Imperium") did such a thorough job of taking it with them when they destroyed each other that those populations left behind had to first get over a fear of space, technology, and leaving home before they could start the climb. The climb on Luja started four centuries ago, only got back into space about 250 years ago, and got to where they could build and test jump drives 200 yeas ago.

We could shorten the Full Night by a century or three.

>>35804649
Join in. We're talking about setting up the Major Polity of the Sector.

>>35804669
Yeah, definitately shorten it. Humans have both easily impressionable minds and REMARKABLY SHORT MEMORIES for why we should take caution. I mean we tamed one of our primary Predators fer chrissakes.

>>35804679
>>35804741
The three important (and known) political zones in the sector, as I see them. The green is the *known* reach of Zoani colonies. The red is the Core Worlds, though the Core Lords were felt across the entire map. The blue is The Imperium at the current date.

>>35804935
Forgot mah picture

>>35804956
I would pull it(the Imperium) up a bit and have it control more of SSE, the Core Lords should also have more control in SSI&J, and the Zoani should have a scattered presence in SSM on the Rimward Spinward cluster of 3. Just to show where they were expanding to. Having them reaching in a direction that the Core Lords never sought gives them a greater unifying presence in the Sector.

>>35805093
The operative word is "known".

Common Knowledge is that the Core Lords were *everywhere*, but the so-called Core Worlds are their heaviest concentration.

The Zoani are also known to be in the zone indicated, and suspected to be everywhere, or *have been* everywhere, except where the Core Lords hunted them to extinction.

The Imperium will certainly have visited more worlds than are shown (I missed Moore, for example), but have a solid grip on the indicated worlds and consider them member worlds. The exact outline is subject to change, but I want frontiers to be on the map, not in the next sector.

Not sure this is an improvement. I've added the Sunshiners and the Feldsparites, including the zone the Feldsparites wish to welcome into Best State

>>35805435
That looks great. The Sunshiners are only one of 3 polities in their little cluster though. Arendelle and Volantis contest Sunshine's dominion (and Volantis is being subverted by Arendelle).

I'll give them their own Allegiance codes then.

In the beginning, there were the Zoani. For whatever reason, they spread across much of the sector, became extremely familiar with the biologies of many worlds, and committed a number of Sins.

>>35807124
Thousands of years later, humanity arrives in the form of the Core Lords, who quickly come to dominate the central clusters, and begin to oppress, deport, and/or actively hunt the Zoani. The hatred of the Zoani is not universal, however, and many worlds within the Reach survive.

>>35807160
The Core Lords spread across much of the sector in enclaves, unsettling laboratories, and secret bolt holes, but their power and distrust destroys them. The populations they took with them, once virtually enslaved by their mad masters, take centuries to even think about returning to the stars. The most successful are, fittingly, the furthest from the old Core Worlds, though they are not without strife.
