TNE Subsector Notes

by Chris Griffen

Anarsi Subsector: The Anarsi Subsector has an estimated population in 1202 of approximately 372.2 million, a decline of 98% from its Pre-Collapse population. Its highest population is 28.7 million at Sadniben, and its highest tech level is 9 at Newcastle. The Anarsi Subsector had an estimated population in 1117 of approximately 18.76 billion. Its highest population was 9.15 billion at Anarsi, and its highest tech level was 16 at Gemid.

Newcastle (1801) was invaded in 1104 by a band of Vargr corsairs serving the Church of the Chosen Ones. The Vargr easily overwhelmed the system's low-tech defenses, and took over the system mainworld. The pirates stripped the system of many of its resources before eventually dusting off and heading for parts unknown. The power vaccuum was immediately filled by Vargr of the Ngath Confederation who raided shipping from a clandestine base in the system's Oort cloud in an unusual concentration of dark-ice asteroids. When Virus struck, the Ngath cautiously observed the carnage from afar, sending intermittent scouts to provide reconnaissance. One of the scouts was inadvertantly infected by Virus and brought it to the corsair base. Fortunately for the Ngath, they were able to firewall their systems before too much damage was done. After the initial onslaught of Virus, the Ngath moved in and usurped the exhausted Newcastilian government and made the system a mecca for coreward refugee Vargr. While the marriage of human and Vargr cultures has not been an easy one, Newcastle's very survival may have depended on the late arrival of the reluctant Ngath rescuers. The united human-Vargr Newcastilian government has created a low-tech, but sound system defense and made minor inroads into restoring interstellar trade in the region.

Gemid (1903) was famous for its high-tech weaponry, especially neurotoxins. When Virus struck, the system was stripped of most of its industrial resources and most of the native inhabitants were killed using their own technology. It is thought that the Gemidi weaponry was used by units of Virus-infected robots to murder the populations of several neighboring systems. Ngath corsairs managed to requisition several dozen TL-16 laser and particle accelerator weapons, a fact that contributed to their ability to fend off Virus at Newcastle system. Years of neglect and the inability to properly maintain the weapons, however, has resulted in their gradual decline in effectiveness.

Daama (1904) was at one time a smuggler's paradise. Its non-aligned status kept it free from Imperial restrictions, and its close proximity to Gemid supplied it with a variety of black market goods. Daamans, in an effort to make their world less delectable to roaming Vampire Fleets, methodically destroyed all items of high technology. While the system's gas giant remains a frequent stopover for Vampire ships, the mainworld is generally left alone.

Shabii (2408) was a warehouse planet for Makhidkarun. The planet's mechanized storage units and landing areas for transport covered much of the surface. A God-Strain Virus infected the planet's central data core, and subsequently conquered the entire planet's data network. The Virus entity now provides spare parts and mechanized labor to Vampire Fleet ships for a price, usually human or robotic labor. Though it maintains a squadron of jump-capable starships, which it has used to raid neighboring systems of additional parts and equipment, the Virus is slowly running out of equipment and may soon abandon the complex.
