VIPACH SUBSECTOR
No other region of Gushemege has such a mixture of complex history and
intractible mystery. Within the boundaries of Vipach there is believed
to be the homeworld of the Loeskalth - the aggressive and warlike human
race wiped-out by the vilani in the Consolidation Wars. With the
conquest and eradication of the Loeaskalth, the record of their origin,
their identity and culture have been lost. Only fragments of the
language remain. The best educated guess as to the Loeskalth homeworld
is Abaelou (0233), a medium-sized planet with a readioactive taint. The
interesting feature of the taint is that the radioactive signature
matches that of vilani nuclear weapons of the Consolidation Wars era.
The Abaelou hypothesis is backed-up by two other pieces of evidence;
the discovery of ruined human-styled cities by the IISS and the
discovery of a huge asteroid ship in the Aapu system (0132). The
asteroid ship indicates an origin in the Abaelou system.
The prescence of a large number of scout bases and the Way station (at
Wilson, 0740) is due to the location of Vipach at the corner of
Gushemege, Reft, Ilelish and Verge sectors. They service the large
volume of scout traffic moving between the Core and the Great Rift. The
Vipach scout bases are also involved in the continuing search for
the positive identification of the Loeskalth homeworld.
The world of Vipach (0632) was once the capital of the subsector and
still today the subsector name identifies that link. The world was
eclipsed in importance by Dikaash in the early years of the Third
Imperium when Glirse LIC located some of the most valuable platinum and
gold deposits in the subsector. Dikaash is still a centre of excellence
in the production of microelectronics, non-organic catalysts and space
life-support systems.
The subsector is the most heavily populated in Gushemege highlighting
its long history of colonisation (almost from the first vilani
explorations into the sector) - the total population approaches 106
billion. The majority of the inhabitants are human but there are
significant numbers of Ael Yael and Vapethi. The human population are a
mix of vilani, solomani, tapazmal, loeskalth and others. The greatest
concentration of life is on Sagal (0337) and has been interdicted by a
joint IISS-Imperial Navy commission (in 1103) following the desruction
of the starport. This was a consequence of an uprising of Ilelish
militants. Although small, the trouble has been continuous since with a
increase in intensity of the raids by the pro-Dulinor faction after the
onset of the Rebellion. As of 1121 the world is nominally independent.
Jaeyelya is the home of the Ael Yael and is reserved for the habitation
of the Ael Yael only (bar residents of the surface IISS station and
diplomats). The world does see plenty of other races either through
trade or tourism.
The importance of Homage as the bread-basket of Vipach is underlined by
the presence of the naval base. Numerous conflicts in orbit have
focussed on the control of the system, as the holder of the world can
starve the surrounding region into submission. Since the outbreak of
the 'Rebellion' in late-1116, the world has changed hands three times
between pro-Lucan, pro-Dulinor and lately, pro-Strephon forces.
Currently the world is held by Strephon.
Ounash is claimed by a small number of tribes descended from asiatic
nomads of the central region Asian continent of Terra. The peoples have
rejected technology living much as there ancestors did 10,000 years
ago. Numerous attempts by industrial combines to extract valuable
organic resources locked under the dry crust have been rebuffed by the
'Council of the 15 Tribes'. Survey teams which have landed without
permission by the council have been shown little mercy when caught.

Abstract: Outline of Laeth subsector (N of Gushemege), system stats and
library data.
LAETH SUBSECTOR
Laeth is divide up into two distinct cultural regions: the Ilelish Rim
and the Heartland. The Ilelish influence goes back to the experiences
of the Long Night and has retained much of the character of Ilelish.
Declaration for Dulinor at the onset of the Rebellion was not
unexpected but was nevertheless regarded with horror by the sector
government. The 'Heartland' regions of Laeth are one of the most
important areas especially as a major food producer/exporter and a
centre for many of the IISS activities.
The subsector capital of Sidur Ishki is an important exporter of high
tech equipment, its shipyards are some of the finest producers in
Gushemege. The majority of the sector navy's vessels at the high tech
end are procurred at the Nasiirka yards (now owned by a consortium of
local businesses). This has led to a number of raids by pro-Dulinor
forces in 1117 and 1118, finally falling into Ilelish hands on
214-1118. However the system wasn't to stay for long under Ilelish
control as Strephon's navy managed to rest in back in early 1119. Yet
Dulinor's determination to win the system bore friut at the end of the
year when he managed to establish a forward fleet headquarters.
Polygamy is named after the curious custom on the world of men having
many concurrent marriages. The practice of taking many wives follows
the mysterious outbreak of a disease affecting the nervous system of
sexually mature males. The male population was decimated, reduced by
92%. In order for the population to survive and grow the government
issued a decree whereby each male had to marry at least three wives.
Government financial bonuses were given to husbands for extra wives and
lots of children. Although the population has now reached the levels
just prior to when the disease struck the law requiring many wives for
men has never been repealed, thus it is still common for the men on
Polygamy to be married to several women. The higher the social position
the more wives a man is expected to have. Wives are allowed to be
married to more than man. There has recently been strong protests about
the practice of polygamy on the world by members of the fundamnetalist
missionaries of Shagaelo. These missionaries have clashed violently
with locals on a number of occassions.
