An overview of the Tiyanki Territories.

The Tiyanki Territories is a region within the larger Sector A1-0 that is renowned for its immensely diverse and partitioned inhabitants and astronomical phenomena. It's relatively secluded from the rest of the Sector as it unique nebulous expanses inhibit space travel to and from the region. Whatever information travels throughout the known routes is often tainted by myths, legends and mysticism. Giving the region a largely mystical reputation to the wider Sector. It's named after the space-borne Tiyanki that roam the entire Sector from their ancestral breeding grounds in the various Expanses.

Astrography

The Tiyanki Territories encompasses a region largely centered in-between the outer Expanses. In total the region is roughly 400 LY wide in all directions with a near constant depth of 100 LY. Although the expanses are a nebulous gas composition more dense than most nebulae that inhibit many forms of realspace travel, the Territories are home to over 30 independent star nations with most of their territories barely exceeding 50 LY as the Expanses take over 55% of the volume of the Territories. In addition, these expanses are also home to hazardous and peaceful space-borne beings such as the Tiyanki, Thrakno and Oncori/

Great Expanse

The Great Expanse has a well deserved name as it forms the eastern border of the region ranging for roughly 300 LY from the galactic south to the galactic north. It's also called the Tiyanki Miasma due to the largest concentration of Tiyanki population. Legends tell that once a Tiyanki reaches its end of life, they travel back within the Great Expanse to join their final resting place. This planet has been named Tiyana Vrok and lies deeply hidden in the Great Expanse. Only very few individuals ever returned from this legendary place as navigation becomes increasingly difficult when closing in to the expanse's heart. Only few organizations, most notably the Jo'Dai Order or experienced smugglers are known to navigate to this planet. Though these routes are usually kept as a close secret in fear that space-whalers might hunt this place for trophies.

Furthermore, the planet of Thrallum, a rumoured karst world & homeworld of Arkite Crystals, controlled by the Jo'Dai Order serves as a secret hideout for one of the Order's rites of passage. Like most navigators, the Jo'Dai Order is highly secretive of routes to these precious locations.

The Galreesh Technocracy's golden days have also passed and have since secluded themselves to their homeworld of Galreen deep within the Great Expanse. As their exploration age has ended, so to erodes the location of their homeworld to mystery. Legends tell that only Galreesh hyperdrives are able to traverse the Great Expanse so deeply into it.
