Astrography of Dark Nebula Sector: The Aslan
homeworld lies at the very edge of Aslan space, rather than in the
middle
of a sphere of influence as is more common with starfaring major
races. (The Vilani spread mostly in
one
direction because of the limitations of jump-1 drive, but for most
others,
the stars were more evenly spread.) Most agree that this is because
Aslan
developed jump drive relatively late, and found that humans
had already claimed most of the worlds to coreward
and trailing of Kusyu.
It is noteworthy that in order to expand in the
direction
left open to them, Aslan had to develop jump-2 almost immediately after
inventing jump drive. Many small clusters of Aslan worlds would be
isolated
with only jump-1 drive available. -dn
