Pocket Empire Report #0 - Initial Data
Aoreriyya Region of Reavers' Deep Sector
"Aoreriyya" is an Aslan word which is best translated as "New Veldt"; it is
the Aslan name for this region of space. Aoreriyya is a vague astrographic
region which includes most of subsectors J, K, N, and O of Aeitle Sakh sector,
better known in Galanglic as Reavers' Deep. It was applied by early Clan
explorers because of the relatively large number of worlds with climates
and ecosystems well-suited to Aslan comfort.
Early Solomani explorers named this region ??.

=--=========--================
To use the subsector data with Cynthia Higginbotham's SSV program,
simply cut apart each subsector (they start with the "@name lines",
and each one is in order).
Classic Traveller Data
Three subsectors need star generation, and two subsectors need names
for the worlds. I note that there is quite a mix of Aslani and
Solomani names in this area, perhaps some folks out there can suggest
names so we can fill in that part. It would be nice to get somewhat
of a mix of different Solomani languages, and get some Aslan names
too (we can always use a random generator for that, though). The
unnamed worlds are identified as ?-#### (where #### is the hex number).

Since most of this area has never been a part of the Third Imperium, there
are a decent number of established polities. Presumably, some of these
will form the nucleus for Hard Times and New Era polities, while some of the
Non-Aligned worlds will band to gether to form totally new polities.

Assigning Stars
Steve Higginbotham writes:
We have 105 worlds here, of which 27 have their stars already, I
believe. So we need stars for 78 worlds. Assuming normal distribution,
we should have 43 M's, 11 K's, 9 G's, 13 F's, and 2 A's. So let's be
arbitrary and burn some of those G's for all the Ag and Ri worlds left.
Of course, there are 28 Ag, Ri, or Ag Ri worlds without stars, so we'll
need to use up most of the K's and F's getting them decent stars...
Toward the New Era
During Hard Times, and up to the onset of the Virus, some polities will
decide that its time to become Reavers in the Grand Old Tradition (RitGOT).
Near the beginning of the Rebellion, a relatively large group of (alien
minor race or races) fled Solomani persecution into Aoreriyya. They passed
through Carrillian Assembly (through Carrill and/or Lanaxion) on their way
to a suitable colony world. Their transporation was two or three very
large (100,000-ton+) imperial-design bulk transports, with over 100,000
colonists in cold sleep, and such supplies as could be transported.
During the Rebellion and Hard Times, the area recives a continuing trickle
of refugees (especially minor-race aliens seeking refuge from Solomani
opression).
An idealistic Imperial officer and the remains of her CruRon (badly damaged
in the initial fighting; only 2 ships are space-worthy, and only one could
be called combat-ready) set course for the Deep. These people are not
Reavers, but an idealistic, pro-Imperium, good-guy group who are trying to
recreate in microcosm all of the good things the Imperium has lost in the
Rebellion. The choose a relatively good world, and play Guardian Angel.
And of course, the usual mob of desperadoes generated by Hard Times.
Some Vargr may even show up to join in the fun.
All of this section is still fluid, and Mike Metlay's Near Miss will
probably fit into it somewhere.
And then the Virus hits.

Library Data and Other Information
The following general on Ea data was printed in Far Traveller #1:
Originally Explored by Aslan traders and clan scouts looking for new
territory, the Ea subsector has been the scene of numerous
confrontations between Humans and Aslans in competition for the same
real estate. During the era of the Reaver Warlords, several small human
states sprang up here; as a result, competition is stiff.
Two substantial human states, separated by a scattered band of unclaimed
independent worlds, dominate this region. The Grand Duchy of Marlheim
is a tightly controlled, expansionist totalitarian state. The
Confediracy of Duncinae is a less restrictive interstellar community
with close ties to the Principality of Caledon to coreward.
[TNE-POCKET: The Grand Duchy entered an internal civil war, primarily
a struggle between Pendang and Marlheim for control of the polity
(similar to the internal politics of the Sword Worlds). The civil
war causes this polity to be classified Red Zone for the duration.]
Htalrea, lying between the two states, is a primitive world hitherto of
greatest importance to Aslan traders. It is the home of the risth, a
large, dangerous predator whose scent glands are a source for rare and
expensive perfumes.
Library Computer: The Reavers. Name given to any of the petty warlords
or pirates who have operated in the area of space known as Reavers'
Deep. The first Reavers flourished in the region during the Long Night,
when individual warlords with a handful of working starships could
dominate several worlds. Expansion by Aslan and Imperial interests into
the region, culminating in the Aslan Border Wars (ca. 200-380), led to a
lessening of the Reaver presence, but in the aftermath of those wars the
neutral strip of border worlds in the Deep [became] havens for criminals
and pirates. To this day the name is sometimes applied, often in a
fanciful or romantic manner, to freebooters, pirates, privateers, or,
occasionally, to small interstellar states found in the area.
Library Computer: Tlaosierlahrau. Also known as tlaospice, tlao, or
seasongold; a spice derived from the seed of tlaosier, a tree found on
Roakhioc[sic]/Ea in Reavers' Deep. The golden seed kernels, when ground,
produce a fragrant, light seasoning popular with both Aslan and Human
gourmets on meat, soups, and stews. Because of the scarcity of
tlaosier, and the expense of shipping it, tlaospice commands an
impressive price of Cr 3 per gram in offworld markets.
Library Computer: Tlasayerlaahel. Merchant corporation controlled by
the Yehaso clan, a strong Aslan group in Reavers' Deep. Tlasayerlaahel
is a powerful company with many interests in the Deep, among them the
tlaospice trade with Roakhoi, the rithscent trade with Htalrea, and some
commercial contact with the natives of Gaajpadge, from whome glasswares
and other objets d'art are obtained. Tlasayerlaahel is currently
engaged in stiff economic competition with the human merchants of
Caledon Ventures, Ltd. from Caledon/Caledon.
TNE-POCKET Data:
Union of Harmony:
Cynthia suggests that the Union of Harmony actually be a Confederation
wannabe: they have applied for membership, and are busy showing how
zealously Solomaniac they are (being Chinese, they probably think this
whole Solomaniac shtick is drivel - they KNOW that being Chinese is far
more important than (and far superior to) anything else out there):-)).
This gives a good excuse for lots of Solomani support, with room for them
to be dropped like a hot rock when things start to look dark...
And although they are getting lots of Solomani support, they have to use
almost all of it to keep the Aslan out of their spinward border (and
therefore have very little resources left to do more than act obnoxious to
everyone else). Once they stop recieving Solomani support, then they get
the nasty shock of finding out how alone they can be ...
