Sindal Subsector
The upper right corner of Sindal is held by the Imperium, with a naval base at Realgar and trade routes out to Tobia subsector. That section of the subsector is comparatively peaceful, in contrast to the rest of Sindal. The name comes from the Sindalian Empire, which ruled this sector and those around it for a thousand years during the Long Night. The Sindalians’ authority was enforced with the fusion gun and the atomic bomb, and it was by the gun, the bomb and the engineered germ that they were destroyed. Remnants of the Empire can be found across the subsector – an automated beacon here, an ancient tradition there, a once-magnificent starport or civic building on a dying world there – but the Sindalians have been gone for centuries. The former Empire’s seat was at Noricum, but that world was blasted back into the dark ages and has yet to recover. The Sindalian Empire haunts this subsector like a spectre.
The Sindalian Main (or Dustbelt) continues from Dpres subsector into Sindal, terminating at old Noricum. Few of the worlds along the main are worth conquering, although raiders from Tyr, Acis or the Glorious Empire are not an uncommon sight in those systems. Rimward, a traveller will encounter the Oghman Clans, a barbaric culture who have reduced Marduk and Borite to prespaceflight technology levels through constant raiding, theft of equipment and enslavement of scientists and scholars. On Borite, it is forbidden to write down anything, lest the Oghman Clans decide you are a scholar and steal you away. On Marduk, each island has its own language and there is a cultural taboo against learning the tongue of your neighbours.
The Imperial outpost in this sector is administered from Tobia. A small amount of trade flows through Sindal subsector – traders heading for Aslan space may take a longer route instead of the well-trafficked path across the Borderlands, or they can take the jump-2 route to Floria along the Sindalian main. Most ships avoid the subsector if they have any sense. Tlaiowaha subsector lies just over the border, and when the Aslan move coreward again, they will gobble up the warring worlds of this sector in a single bloody feast until they hit the Imperial border.
