Abstract: Summary of systems of the subsector and basic data.

BALECH SUBSECTOR

This subsector (I of Gushemege) is under the harsh rule of Duke Rall Talenn who has used his position to grab further power, line his own pockets (and those of his friends) and subjugate the people. He is only tolerated by the central Gushemege authorities as he is control of a very strategically valuable region. The subsector fleets protect the spinward flanks of Gushemege from the Federation of Ilelish and Aslani Ihatei. Open criticism or action to curb the Duke's excesses may be the excuse he needs set up an independent state (thereby depriving the sector of valuable resources) potentially hostile, or worse still, side with Dulinor. Both paths would leave the centre of Gushemege and vulnerable to attack.

The vapethi are minor non-human sophonts native to Inapiirn (0723). They are pleiomorphic, having a variety of shapes to suit the local climate/environment, the company they are present with, status; this is also altered by the individuals' emotional state. The basic shape is a rounded cylinder with usually a quartet of tentacle-like appendages. The 'skin' is also an important indicator of mood where the darker the shade the more intense and serious the individual's feelings.

Orren Station (0623) was once a Sylean Scout Service monitoring station, which was established to survey Verge and the edge of the Great Rift. The outpost was attacked in 241 by some of the first aslan ihatei to enter Gushemege. The aslan moved on but not before killing all those at the station and stripping the site of everything that could be carried away.

Mehrai (Y944000-0) is ravaged by sandstorms (with winds reaching 200kph) across most of the surface - several vessels are believed to have been lost when attempting to enter the vicious atmosphere. In 1106 an independently-owned long liner (the "Barok") on a trading mission into Verge sector reported maneouvre drive failure on going into orbit around Mehrai. The ship's orbit began to decay and the captain ordered the passengers and crew to abandon the vessel in the liner's launch. The captain stayed aboard as the launch moved off to Hanrii (0125) the satellite of Mehrai. The ship was lost to all sensors as it entered the atmosphere. The poor facilities at the class E starport and the savaged nature of the planet meant that anything other than a cursory search could be undertaken.

Much of the equatorial zone of Armec (0527) is covered in native flora in a combined jungle/swamp habitat. It is believed to potentially hold vast reserves of petrochemicals and other useful organics. But as yet no company has yet come up with the substantial investment required to undertake the necessary exploratory work. The class-A starport was built in expectation of a rush to the world to plunder its riches but as yet this influx has failed to materialised. It is also rumoured to be a safe haven for pirates which prowl the Verge-Gushemege border.
