Glisten Subsector
("O" : Spinward Marches)
The Glisten subsector is an isolated spur of the Imperial
xboat
network; until 940, it was a backwater for marginal officials of the
Imperial
bureaucracy. However, in 941, District
268 was opened by decree of Margaret
II and Glisten has since served as a base for the colonization of
the
new territory.
Egypt (1737 Spinward Marches BAC6567-7)
is a Ministry of Colonization training base.
Mithras (1932 Spinward Marches C8B5546-6)
is the site of an Imperial exile prison; individuals convicted
of certain categories of crimes are deported to the world where
they begin life anew. Although environmental conditions are
harsh,
the opportunities on Mithras have made it a showcase of
rehabilitation.
The Imperial Reserve on Marastan (2231 Spinward
Marches D868772-5) contains sprawling examples of flora and fauna
collected
by the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service during surveys and
explorations.
This Imperial collection, available only for research by accredited
scholars,
is one of the largest in the Imperium.
Although the Emperor has never visited the collection, it is reported
that
action holographs of it are used for decoration and entertainment at
the
Summer Palace on Umgadin (2320 Core B6B5946-B).
