Dawn War Artefacts x2
Precursor Artefacts
A vast expanse of stars that was the birthplace of the Dawn War, Godshatter is an immense sector of space, as big as the entire Orion Arm. Full of exhausted worlds and husked solar systems, there are few concentrated resources here. Outside of rare encounters with enigmatic Solip Emmisary Machines no sentients call this place home. Riches still await the dedicated explorer though, as Dawn War relics abound - but for every explorer who discovers valuable treasure, a hundred perish at the hands of sleepless Dawn War weapons or enraged Chan-Su.

Dawn War Artefacts
Resource Rich
Slow Zone
No sector of space has more stories about it than Deliverance. Wiped clean by a terrible weapon in the Dawn War, space-time has been damaged across much of this sector, locking many worlds within bubbles of slow space. The rainbow skies of Avrilla and the golden seas of Midas are but two of the most famous. Other legends say it is haunted, the spirits of trillions of sentients prowling between the howling darksides of its million suns, awaiting foolish explorers.

Polities

No known polities exist in Deliverance, however, legand tells of Mintar, the Golden Dyson, a vast megastructure said to lie somewhere in the sector, and hold a civilisation of incredible power known as the golden ones

Certain dawn war machines have been known to arise in the area as well

Creation’s Fountain
Nebula
Trade Routes
Fast Zone
Mega Structures
Imperialised

The spinward end of the Silver trade empire, Creations Fountain is controlled by the Silver Empire, who have fortified various of it's megastructures to serve as positions to defend against the possibility of a renewal of the Dawn War in godshatter or other possible emergency threatening this end of the Orion arm, as well as suppress the local Chimerics

The megastructures, mostly dyson spheres and ring worlds were created by mysterious beings known as the Deepers, who seem to exist only to build these massive artifices to purposes unknown

Polities
Silver Empire (Including all Ubiquitous Races)
Deepers
House of Ash and Coral (Vesperis)
United Enclaves (Bressleris)
Egomish (Chimerics) Rootless (Humans)
Nilfari colonies


Tolerance
Garden Sector
Fallow
Defensible
Resource Rich
Slow Zone

Near the end of the Silver Trade Roots, but untouched due to the spatial effects which render FTL travel difficult, Tolerance would be ripe for exploitation if one of the Orion Arm’s major polities was ever to take the time to properly uncover it. 

For now however, the sector remains mostly fallow and empty, with only a few sentient species of any importance, mostly happily, though slowly expanding using the sectors rich natural resources.

Several Nilfari colonies also exist in the area

Desert Sector
Singularity artefacts
Resource Rich
War Zone
Sometimes known as the 'Autowar Deeps', Rampant has become the home to many clades of these ancient self-replicating weapons. Gorged on the rich resources of this sector, they continue to carry out their ancient missions, whatever they may be, fiercely resisting any attempts by the powers of Voidheart or Harmonius Repose to gain a foothold.

Home of the Ameratsu.


Overload
Mega Structures
Singularity Artefacts
Microstates
Precursor Artefacts
Ground Zero for Humanity's singularity, Overload is amptly named. It was here that the greatest singularity since the Dawn War was lit and where it is both most pervasive and most iconic. In the shadows of the great works of the Human archailects a myriad of tiny states squabble for fleeting preminence.

Cloud Sea
Nebula
Hell sector
Singularity artefacts
Desert Sector
The influence of the Orion Nebula has left few habitable worlds in the Cloud Sea, but it has became a haven for machine life and other space dwellers. Unchecked technological postsingularity evolution has turned the Sea into a hell sector; only a few enclaves of civilization dot the sector, ruthlessly reapplying postHuman theotech for the purpose of survival.

The last line of defense against the raging hordes to the galactic east, Hadrian is the bullwark of civilization.
