Yes but these subsectors also provides a 'Home port' for these fleets. This
is particularly important for crew with families and routine logistic support.
Not to mention that it's a great way for the region to benifite economically
from these ships.

Should not be too diffcult with out the Zhodani actively supporting the
incursions. Also the Aslan ihatei units ought to give them an interesting
surprise.

I vaguely recall reading the same referance. But considering the mission
of the Patrol as a centralized fast reaction force these two fleets will be
the idea core.
Over a period of 70 years I would imagine the incorporated ihatei units be
fairly evenly distributed throughout the Regency. So between rebuilding the
reavaged fleets and setting up the Quarantine area the descendents of the
ihatei should be everywhere.
Also about five years ago at a Los Angeles Gaming convention I recall Loren
Wiseman mentioning the ideal way to deal with the ihatei is to trade land
grant for service.

Ooops, I'll use my glasses next time I check the map. :P
***:Regarding Regency Maps
Here's a list of the border hex from the MT Box set (c 1987)
On the South (Aslan/Rimward) side:
1541,1540,1539,1538,1437,1337,1436,1435,1434,1535,1634,1735,1834,1934,
1933,1932,2032,2132,2231,2331,2332,2333,2334,2335,2336,2436,2536,2537,
2637,2638,2739,2839,2940,3039,3040
Worlds bounded by these hex were suppose to be under control of the
Aslan ihatei.
Everytime I take a look at this I can only imagine that it's must've been
one heck of a fight.
At the North (Vargr/Coreward) side:
2201,2202,2303,2402,2503,2504,2505,2506,2507,2607,2708,2807,2907,2906,
3005,3004,3104,3203, (continues in the trailing direction into Gulf
subsector)
***UWP and alliegence code
I've been running non-'canned' GDW background for quite some time now
and don't have all of the old SM UWP data. Perhaps Rodge Sanger
have those handy?
