This subsector was explored by the Tlaiowaha clan, who then ceded most of the worlds here to their vassals, the Ahroay’if. The Ahroay’if control or strongly influence more than a third of the worlds in this subsector. Their power is based on trade, and the Ahroay’if have a vested interest in preserving the peace. They strongly support ihatei expeditions to settle or conquer worlds along the Hierate/Imperium trade route, as long as such expansions do not interfere with trade.
In the last fifty years, the Ahroay’if have come under increasing pressure from rimward clans, especially the Hkaaiheir. These clans claim that the Ahroay’if have become fat and weak, more concerned with protecting the trade links than winning new territory. So far, they have shied away from actually attacking the Ahroay’if, preferring to claim territory on disputed worlds in Aslan space, or to raid beyond the borders of the Hierate, but pressure is building to conquer the neutral worlds in this subsector.
Solomani scouts also explored this sector, and left several small colonies. Many of these worlds were named by a famous explorer, Jona Rhas, a devotee of ancient Terran science-fiction. Most of these colonies were subsumed into the Sindalian Empire, and survived comparatively well when that Empire collapsed. There have been conflicts between the human colonies in the past, but the arrival of the Aslan Hierate has unified them somewhat, following the loss of Khusai (formerly Banks) and Kterioa (Stross) to the Hierate. Drinax’s king advocates forming an alliance against the Hierate, while the worlds of Pourne, Hilfter and Paal are hoping to either negotiate entry into the Imperium or the Hierate as equal trading partners.
There are two Imperial client states in this sector. Vorito is the local headquarters of the General Development Company (see page 130), and was able to obtain Imperial protection from Deneb. Camoran, by contrast, applied for help from Tobia when the Aslan began attacking it. Camoran’s cloak of Imperial protection is a thin one, and it is likely that the Imperium will refuse to extend its thirty-year guarantee of Mutual Defence when the treaty comes up for renewal in 1108.
The main trade route from the Imperium runs through this subsector, entering from the Borderlands at Pohl or Herbert and from there onto Tyokh.
