Fiction:Byzan Sector

The Byzan Sector is home to a number of civilizations usually ranging from Tier 5 to Tier 3. There are no known Tier 2 or 1 Civilizations in this sector, but that does not diminish the value or ability of those who call Byzan home. Byzan was named for the term "Byzaa" meaning "Bazaar" or "meetingplace" in the language of the primary nation there, the Drenmarr Republic.

This Sector is not owned or regulated by any player, and is free for access by anyone. It has little in the way of unique resources,

Astrography


The Byzan Sector is exactly 1000 by 1000 by 1000 Lightyears, making it a perfect cube. It stretches from the underside of the galactic ring to the overside of the galactic ring, and is located near the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment. The sector is noted as a trade center and a political refuge for various nations that have no where else to go. There are a handfull of wormholes in this region that lead to other galaxies, but no one has yet tested them to find out where they go.

History


Drenmarr Republic
The Drenmarr Republic is a tier 3 nation with 12,531 colonies. It sits near the center of the Byzar Sector, and is a primary political, economic, and military power. Despite this, the Drenmarr Republic has been suffering from a defunct and confiscatory government that gets little done. Because of this, the Republic is seen as a fading nation, and does nothing with its power.
