Isopod Sector

“*Compared to us, you existed in a puddle. Welcome to life in the lake*”
― [ Undefined ]

## Synopsis

The isopod Sector, similar to other **Sectors**, is a cluster of galaxies. Unlike common Sectors, the Isopod Sector is remarkably vast and home to unusual varieties of **galaxies**.

The complete extent of the Isopod Sector is unknown and its full reach has not been calculated. The isopod sector is split into **Corona Rings**, which measure circumferentially from the **Sector Core**.

## History

### Formation

The Isopod Sector was formed shortly after the **expansion of the universe**. It has remained stable for billions of years and harbored the birth of **galaxies** and **stars** within.

The Isopod Sector is amazingly unique in the way it was formed. It was formed with such a large concentrated mass that it held its huge size ceaselessly, making it the largest **Galactic Sector** to ever exist.

### Life

Billions of years after the Isopod Sector formed and established its current position, **Biological Life** started to pop up on many different planets. Life in the Isopod Sector predated life in surrounding **Sectors** by almost 4 billion years. Life thrived within the Isopod Sector and increased numbers all over. Life started to conquer, discover and leave their planet. Life began to spread about the Isopod Sector in many variations.

The most **technologically advanced** and **Intelligent** species to ever live in the Isopod Sector, **The Isopoda**, formed an Intergalactic Empire called the **7th Imperium** to conquer and unite the Isopod Sector. Currently, **The 7th Imperium** consists of a 98+ species **republic** and a 34 **fleet union** and has control of 16 **galaxies**.

## Locations

### Sector Core

The Sector Core is the designated center of the delineated Isopod Sector as well as the executive heart of **The 7th Imperium**.

The Sector Core is the most galactically dense location in the Isopod Sector. Its compact collection of **galaxies** makes it the brightest concentration of mass in the Sector. **Galaxies** within the core are so intermingled that several pairs are on **catastrophic collision courses**.

The actual Sector Core is defined as the centermost point of **Corona 1**, although it is commonly grouped with **Corona 2**.

####  -Corona 1

Corona 1 represents the inner 9 million **Light-Years** ( 2.2 **Quadron Units** ) of the Isopod Sector. It is dense and luminant and contains numerous varieties of **galaxies**. The most notable types being the **Behemoth galaxies** and pairs of **Doomed galaxies**.

####  -Corona 2

Corona 2 is rich with life. Corona 2 has an alarming abundance of **biological life forms** and **habitable planets**. The majority of **superintelligent** **species** and technological precursors hail from Corona 2.

### Inner Corona Rings

The Inner Corona Rings of the Isopod Sector are determined to be Corona 3 to 5. These locations host the largest array of galaxies - aside from the Sector core - including **Behemoth Galaxies**. These **Coronas** have the richest bounty of **inorganic minerals** including **crude metals**, **calcium compounds**, and **ductile metals**.

**The 7th Imperium'**s control of these rings is essential to their material wealth.

####  -Corona 3

Corona 3 is mainly responsible for shipping and **transportation** among other matters. **Corona 3** is fundamental for **intergalactic trade**.

####  -Corona 5

Corona 5 is the location of extensive **planet mining operations** and the neutral space of the **Hadeon Union**.

### Mid Corona Rings

The Mid corona rings contain **Coronas 6, 7, 8 and 9**. Mid ring **galaxies** are much farther away from each other than the galaxies in the inner rings, so the need for **high-speed space-travel** became essential for movement within them.

**The Eridus Ribbon** and **The Kymolyad Stellar Mass** are two **Nebulas** that occur in the Mid Corona Rings. The Eridus Ribbon stretches about corona 7 and 8 in a crescent fashion, while **The Kymolyad Mass** ventures from **Corona 9** out until **Corona 11** in a sort of blob shape.

####  -Corona 6

Corona 6 is an integral location. It splits the Isopod Sector in half- as well as **The 7th Imperium** - and many groups vie for control of its **trade routes**.

**Military influence** has been increased in **Corona 6** for **The 7th Imperium** to guarantee **intersectoral** **authority**. It has been slipping out of their grasp due to rival forces.

####  -Corona 7

Corona 7 is home to the most substantial waste management facility. It takes up six arms of a single galaxy and a Synthetic Gravitational Singularity. Life in corona 7 is viewed as undesirable.

####  -Corona 8

Corona 8 is known for its shipyards. Corona 8 is the main source of intergalactic spacecraft.

####  -Corona 9

Corona 9 is a heavily protected 7th imperium Corona.
