Nephon Sector

The Nephon sector, as far as its inhabitants know, is a relatively isolated section of space, describing a crescent that descends obliquely into the galactic plane. Through the sector there runs a major space-lane, converging from two separate outlets of the Hoked Nebula to the Toko system, and from there branching minus-X and plus X towards the Nago system at the extreme minus-X of the coordinate system, and a short terminus to the Newton system on the plus-X.

The Toko system is the only way in or out of the sector, as it is the only place with the sort of long-distance jump docks that inter-sector travel requires.

Life in the Nephon sector is difficult for most. The Toko government claims dominion over the entire sector, but has not the military might nor the unity to enforce it. In the inner systems, close to Toko, life is strictly regulated. On the outer systems, such as in Nago, or close to the Hoked Nebula, or in the remote tributary Rukku system, residents scrape together what life they can. Residents of the more remote systems are dependent upon the Ronin (literally: "wave person" thank you wikipedia), a class of person liberated by their owning/crewing a ship, for neccesities such as food, trade goods, and news.
