Old Sol Sector

Old Sol, the core of the Republic and site of the most brutal battles of the Final War. Sol itself remains ever closed off, domain of the metal men, the AIs's whose QAI is unable to survive demands of FTL jump, seethes with activity of the post-humans. The new homeworld of Meridian is radioactive ruin, scoured clean of life and the system is home to frightful tears in space in which things come out, before reality catches up and banishes them up.

Despite the wealth and industry that survived, the damaged done knocked most of the worlds tech base down as raw materials brought in from the outer sectors collapsed. If you start in this sector max tech limit for units is Generation 1.
