Cronor Subsector
("A" : Spinward Marches)
The Cronor subsector lies at the extreme spinward
reach of the Imperial frontier, and has long been a point of friction
between
the Imperium and the Zhodani
Consulate. The Second
Frontier War (615-620) began with an attack on Cipango
(0705)
and then exploded to engulf three subsectors. Ultimately, the
Cronor
subsector was lost as a result of the war, and the borders established
have remained to this day. Zhodani ascendence in this subsector
is
a relatively recent event, occuring only in the last century.
Incursions
which have collectively been called the Fourth
Frontier War (1082-1084) resulted in some realignment of accepted
boundaries,
but in no real gains for either side.
Chronor is the Imperial spelling for the subsector;
the
Zhodani
corrupted spelling is Cronor.
Many worlds in the Chronor subsector remain
nominally
independent, although they are under Zhodani protection. Long
term
education
and development programs are in progress to integrate these worlds into
the Zhodani Consulate.
Cronor subsector contains a jump route nexus (at Cronor)
controlling
vital Zhodani connections to territory in both Jewell and Querion
subsectors.
Away from established jump lanes, the sparse population of the
subsector
has resisted domination, although only in a passive vein.
All worlds in this subsector should be treated as Amber
by Imperial citizens.
Quar (0808 Spinward Marches B532720-B) is the
site
of an Imperial naval base.
The
world was originally settled by Imperials, but was pronounced
independent
as a result of the armistice after the Third
Frontier War. It was returned to the Imperium in 1109 as an
act
of good faith by the Zhodani as a result of the peace negotiations with
the Imperium, after being the site of the Treaty of Quar which
cemented that peace.
