A growing mercantile firm based in the principality of Caledon. Caledon Ventures has been one of the companies responsible for opening major new markets within Reavers' deep sector. Caledon is best recognized for the Type A2 far traders it employs on its exploratory trade missions.

The second largest independent human-dominated political entity in the sector. The Carrillian Assembly is a group of federated worlds joined for the mutual regulation of trade, economic coordination, and common defense. The capital of the Assembly is in the Carrillian Belt/Drexilthar (Reavers' Deep 2330). For largely internal political reasons, it is politically neutral in the current Imperial Rebellion and Dalbei's struggles with the Solomani Confederation. The entire Assembly is considered to be an Amber Zone for any non-Carrillian traveller passing through it.

Administrative center of the Carrillian assembly.

A ruthless and aggressive trading firm well known for its determination to turn a profit, no matter what the legality or cost in human or ethical terms. Though their operations often border on piracy, the loose political structure of the Reavers' Deep has allowed them to continue thriving.

Precursor state to the Union of Harmony consisting of a number of worlds in the Uhtaa and Earle subsectors. Settled by Solomani of Chinese ancestry in the 21st Century PI. The League maintained jump capacity throughout the Long Night and was an occasional source of Reaver fleets for most of that time. Constant low-level conflict with the neighboring Aslans kept the league united until the Peace of Ftahalr relieved the pressure. The League were shattered by internal conflict shortly thereafter, and its former member worlds were plagued by internecine warfare for centuries afterwards, until they were again brought together as the Union of Harmony in 856.

In 1124, the Solomani 47th Task Group under Admiral Chin attacked and destroyed the government and Naval centers of the Carrill System (Reavers Deep 2330), effectively destroying the Carrillian Assembly as an interstellar state. Followup attacks removed all Assembly naval bases within a few months, to 'clear the backfield' for Chin's pending campaign against the Spinward border of the Federation of Daibei.

Several hundred thousand refugees from Carrill migrated to other polities such as Grendal, Rinntarna, and the Gralyn Union.

A small church, the 'Effems' believe that the destiny of humaniti is self-ordained, that technologies that influence evolution, such as genetic engineering, are desirable technologies and should be used to create the 'Ultimate Man'. Believing in the eventual (and in their opinion, inevitable) union of organics with cybernetics, the Effems are considered to be somewhat harmless nutcases, however several of their members are at the forefront of cybernetic, cyborganic, medical, and computer research. Originating from the Magyar Sector of the Solomani Rim, they were driven out due to their complete disinterest in politics other than as a tool to further human evolution.

This small airless world that was originally a reaver stronghold. Later turned legitimate and became an Imperial client state in return for letting the Imperium maintain a base in the system. Protected by Imperial ships and given preferred trade status, Collin's World prospered and increased in population to the point where the resources of the system was strained to maintain it. When the Imperial Navy pulled their ships out in 1119 it precipitated an economic collapse that continues to this day.

An exile world established by the Confederacy of Duncinae. Political dissidents and other criminals are frequently offered the choice between trial and punishment or voluntary exile to Coventry. This has proved a useful method of humanely dealing with undesirables, and has worked quite well since the system was instituted some 350 years ago. Security was tightened drastically following the exile of Admiral Sir Thomas Birnham in 1110

Highest award of the Caledonian Defense Forces. Roughly equivilent to the Starburst of Extreme Heroism of the Third Imperium.
