Fiction:Paingler Imperium/Imperial Space

((Under construction!))

Introduction
Welcome to the Imperial Codex! This entry will provide detailed data on: Imperial territory. Reminder: For star charts, please visit a local distribution center or spaceport.

Overview
The term "Imperial Space" or "Imperial Territory" is an umbrella term that describes the space that the Paingler Imperium is situated in and/or has control over.

Sectors
Imperial space is divided up into zones called sectors, based upon distance from the Imperial capital of Nerophion. There are three sectors: the Outer Sector is the second largest in size and furthest in distance from Nerophion. The Inner Sector, also called the Mid Sector is the largest in size, and while it is far away from Nerophion, it is not as distant as the Outer Sector. The Core Sector is the smallest of the trhee sectors and is the cloest to Nerophion, with the capital world included in the list of planets within the sector.

Generally, any planet that is under Imperial control or Imperial colony falls under a certain sector. There are some exceptions to this rule, as some worlds and colonies are too distant to be classified into a sector. These distant worlds are often called "free holdings", due to their lack of a sector classification, but are considered Imperial territory nonetheless.

The Outer Sector
The Outer Sector is composed of a loose collection of worlds, outposts and colonies that either belong to the Imperium or are subject to Imperial control. The Outer Sector, due to it's distance from Nerophion, is the border of Imperial territory and is often considered by others to be an impoverished zone of rampant crime and chaos. Granted, most of the Outer Sector is nearly lawless and crime-ridden, the sector is far from barbaric or wild: it is a combination of distance and lack of proper local police forces and military installations that constitute to the widespread crime.

Crime is a way of life here and is a way to survive. Crime along the Outer Sector is generally regarded with much more leniency than any other sector. Indeed, if some criminal activites would stop, the economy along the Outer Sector would collapse and the economy of Imperial space would suffer. There are numerous criminal organizations located and based within the region, each vying for more power. The majority of these are kept in check by fear of retribution from organized Imperial forces drawn from elsewhere and the criminal organization known as the Azure Cartel, which has a substantial amount of influence and power within the region.

The Inner Sector
The Inner Sector is the largest of the three sectors. It is home to most of the industry of the Paingler Imperium, with the shipyards of Tibon being the most prominent. Unlike the Outer Sector, crime is not tolerated here and follows the strict laws and regulations established by the Imperium.

The most common sights within the Inner Sector are factory worlds or colonies, spaceports and sprawling centers of civilization. A number of species from the reaches of the Ensis Galaxy converge here for leisure or business and their varied starships swarm the skies. Factory worlds are often extremely polluted and are often quarantined for safety. City-worlds are also very congested, and often, their lower levels are little more than sewage deposits and waste dumps. The glistening towers and presence of culture, however, ensure that the poorer conditions are often overlooked.

The Inner Sector is not without crime as the Azure Cartel has a base of power within the region. However, crime is kept in check due to police forces, active military patrols and military installations.
