Five Sisters Subsector
("M" : Spinward Marches)
The Five Sisters subsector is a remote part of the Imperium.
Separated from the contiguous Imperium by nearly ten parsecs at its
closest,
this region is accessible only via a long communications link passing
through
the Sword
Worlds.
When merchant captain Ignaz Ruffleran ventured into
this
subsector in search of markets, he found a cluster of five promising
worlds
and claimed them for his own. He named them for his daughters and
left
each to its namesake in his will to exploit and administer. These
five
worlds -- Mirriam (0333 Spinward Marches E472300-8), Jone
(0433 Spinward Marches B792785-9), Karin (0534 Spinward Marches
A767768-C), Penelope (0534 Spinward Marches C460642-4), and Ucella
(0533 Spinward Marches D574654-7) -- give their name to the subsector;
they
are the Five Sisters.
The subsector is only sparsely settled, and depends on Imperial
payrolls
for most of its internal economy. Some colonization attempts were
begun under the auspices of Emperor Paulo
I in 740, but all developmental activity was stopped in the psionic
suppressions of 800. The region has been under Naval
administration
since.
Research Station
Zeta is located on Froin.
