Fiction:Soloth Sector

''' "You need permission to add in your empire to the Soloth Sector first!" '''

The Soloth Sector is an ancient sector located in the Milky Way Galaxy, precisely in the Norma-Outer Arm.

It was once home to the powerful Arachnid Imperium, Liquarix Grox Collective and United Taily Republic, among with other weaker empires, such as the Shaell Empire. Now it is home to the sole Tadpole Empire.

Overview and Astrography
The sector's name comes from the Arachnid word 'Soloth', which stands for 'Danger'.

The Soloth Sector is notable due to it's intense eletromagnetic-radiated area to the north, which gives the sub-sector a yellowish-green effect.

It is also notable for having an extremely dense quantity of stars compared to other regions, and abruptly possessing a thin layer of stars in the far right. The Sector has more Blue Stars than red stars, who are more prominent in the less-starry area.

The Sector also has a lot of rare relics scattered across the region. Those relics are the only remnant of the backstory of the Soloth Sector, and are quite valuable. However, the relics located in the 'safe' area of the galaxy usually are very minor, being part of minor powers who played little-to-no role to the backstory, such as the Kirgle Empire. The main relics, being from the United Taily Republic, the Liquarix Grox Collective, and most prominently, the Arachnid Imperium, are located in the nothern subsector, which is covered in eletromagnetic radiation. Because of this, those relics are incredibly valuable.

The Soloth Sector also has plenty of natural-made wormholes scattered around. This makes it easier for empires that can acess wormholes but not create their own to move to other areas.

History and Origins
The Soloth Sector's history is shrouded in mystery and ruins. None of the Empire's participants - including the minor powers - have survived to tell the story, but a possible theory about the Soloth Sector has been made from uniting some of the relics:

The Soloth Sector was ruled under the tyranny of the Arachnid Imperium. Despite the Arachnids being an incredibly small species, they were the predators of the area. They demanded tribute from any empire in the sector - even those incredibly far from their territory. Those who refused to pay tribute were quickly eliminated by the Arachnid Imperium's incredibly powerful fleets.

However, the Arachnids' tribute demand was insupportably high, causing weaker empires not being able to pay the tribute and most other civilizations to refuse to pay them the insane bill. The only exceptions were the United Taily Republic and the Kirgle Union. These two had formed an alliance and helped each other to achieve conditions to both pay the bills the Arachnid Imperium demanded.

But new hope emerged when the Liquarix Grox entered the scene. Being the unfortunates that evolved on a planet right on the border of Arachnid territory - and worse, being party-hungry Bards, the philosophy the Arachnids hated the most - the Liquarix Grox wouldn't survive.

But, the Liquarix being the only other species in the Taily and the Kirgle's reach, as the Arachnid alienated the those from other civilizations to prevent a revolt, the two peaceful civilizations helped the Liquarix Grox achieve higher technologies and territory, as well as increasing their military.

But this didn't went unnoticed for long. Arachnid scouts detected the Liquarix Grox's presence, and how the Taily and the Kirgle were increasing it's size and tech. Fearing a possible revolt, the Arachnids immediatly demanded the Liquarix Grox to hand all their colonies and technologies, and leave the Sector, under the threat of extermination. The Liquarix Grox, alongside the United Taily Republic and the Kirgle Empire denied the demand, and declared war against the Arachnid Imperium.

After the war was declared, the three civilizations merged their power, and became the Green Star Alliance, the sole purpose of the alliance being to destroy the Arachnid Imperium and end their tyranny on the Soloth Sector to allow other sentient races to join in the sector.

The Arachnids at first underestimated the Green Star Alliance, but to their surprise, the three were actually taking the Imperium's colonies at an alarming pace. But the Imperium didn't gave up yet. They immediatly decided to test their new superweapon against some of the Green Star Alliance's colonies. The superweapon was supposed to ripple a star's crust and cause it to explode, destroying the orbiting planets.

The Imperium began to take a greater advantage against the Green Star Alliance, who wasn't able to fight back as, once used, the star couldn't be recovered and the only thing they could do is flee from the system before the star explodes. However, the Arachnids didn't knew of one detail - If used on a Blue Giant or on a Red or Yellow Hypergiant, it would leak tons of eletromagnetic radiation and corrupt a very large group of stars, leaving it only safe when used in a Yellow Main-Sequence and a Red or White Dwarf.

They only discovered that after using the superweapon in a Green Star Alliance colony located in a Blue Giant system. Instead of the star leaking simply white beams, the Blue Giant began to leak multicoloured beams(this caused Liquarix Grox citizens to dance with joy from the spetacle). After the star exploded, a very large area became corrupted with eletromagnecy.

But that wasn't the only thing. Several other Arachnids were using the superweapon in many Blue Giant/Red/Yellow Hypergiant systems, not only from the Green Star Alliance, but from other civilizations who also weren't able to or refused to pay tribute. Due to this, the eletromagnetic radiation escalated to a point that an extremely large area of the once-proud region the Arachnid Imperium was located at became a destroyed wasteland, resulting in the death of many civilizations that inhabited the area, the Green Star Alliance, and more prominently, the Arachnid Imperium.

Once the defeat of the Imperium was announced, the remaining empires who weren't on the irradiated area began to celebrate the end of the tyranny, but that the civilizations wouldn't be able to take the technology the Arachnid Imperium had, as the area was too irradiated for them to simply go and collect. However, an Arachnid Remnant probe possessing a few Arachnids was discovered to be attempting to escape the Soloth Sector. It was shot down and captured by the Ploogal Union, where the Arachnids were held captive.

It was then discovered that the Arachnid probe had the so-desired Arachnid technology, and the news spreaded quickly. The Ploogal Union, knowing that empires would be desesperate to get the technology and some would even destroy them to get the tech for themselves, decided to reverse-engineer the technology and then sell to other empires. It quickly became a hit in the Soloth Sector.

However, it was discovered that Arachnid technology was hazardous if misused and could lead to death of planets. And since most empires were new to the technology, they self-destructed from misuse, resulting in the entire Soloth Sector killing itself.

But the sector isn't all empty. During the Arachnid death moment, the Tadpole Empire had grown and prospered in the Soloth Sector during the peacetime, and eventually achieved space travel. However, since the Tadpoles are the only species in the Soloth Sector, they didn't found any other space-faring specimen, having to explore further than the entire sector to discover.

Omniscis Subsector
A subsector possessing a 'normal' ammount of stars, the Omniscis subsector is the starting point of the sector. It is also the smallest. It possesses a few irradiated stars.


 * No inhabitants

Starrain Subsector
The second largest subsector. It possesses the largest ammount of stars in the entire sector. Also possesses many Blue Stars.


 * Tadpole Empire (expanding, Tier 4.3, native) - A peaceful diplomat empire.

Acineurix Subsector
The largest subsector in the Soloth Sector. It's notable due to it's unusual yellowish-green glow due to the eletromagnetic radiation.


 * No inhabitants

Solitudis Subsector
The Solitudis subsector lives up to it's name, as it possesses the smallest ammount of stars in the entire sector. It is also the only subsector to feature many red dwarfs and little blue giants.


 * No inhabitants
