Sector B

**Sector B** is one three sectors that divide the LANIAKEA supercluster. The region covers most notably the Ursa Major Clustor, the Centaurus Supercluster, the Hydra Supercluster and the Antlia Cluster. It is the second largest sector, right behind Sector C, and was considered to be a heavily protected sector, like Sector A, before the outbreak of the second civil war. A good majority of Sector B's planets are mining colonies and occupied planets. Sector B is also home to the Micrea micro cluster, which is situated at the very edge of the Centaurus Cluster. A good chunk of Sector B was apart of Sector A, when it was previously apart of the Confederacy of 5 Dimensions, OverWatch's precursor.

## History

After the organization of the Confederacy of the 5 Dimensions, it started expanding outwards from the space of Sector A, claiming a good chunk of - what would become - Sector B and Sector C. The region of space was later claimed by OverWatch during its first era after the failure of the separatist uprising against the confederacy, after which the 5th Dimension pleadged allegiance with the confederacy.

During the first era, OverWatch expanded and claimed the rest of what would become Sector B, though when the first civil war broke out, Sector B went into the hands of the Council as a consequence of the 5th Dimension being liberated for a short period of time nearing the end of the war. But, in the aftermath of the War by the Crucible, the Council was disbanded and OverWatch returned after being fragmented to 5 armies, and thus Sector B went into the duristiction of the 5th Army of OverWatch, marshalling in OverWatch's second era.

At some point before 2000, a gang of pirates began raiding several transport ships along Sector B's trade routes, gaining notoriety after its leader was revealed - Ruz'gimon Anaithnid, the former patriarch of the House of Anaithnid from Sector C. The pirate gang, called the Red Right Hand, made its way into Sector C in attempt to raid space station Zodiac, and after it failed they flew under the radar for the next decade.

In the late 1990s, the 5th Army's OWGRO contained an unknown hell-spawn from Earth in - what would be considered - the 5th Army's most secured detention and research center, facility CHROMA. Yet despite its rumour, the hell-spawn broke containment and caused a massacre, leading to a joint operation between the OverWatch Navy and the OWISCB to terminate the hell-spawn. During the 5th Army's expansion campaign in the early 2000s, the Micrea micro cluster had a short dispute of what to do - some suggested to go at war with the 5th Army and protect the integrity of Micrea, yet some didn't want to risk a possible mass extinction of Faes. However, the royal House of Niro - the ruling body of Micrea - opted to join the 5th Army in the end as means of protection, the campaign being led by the heir of the throne, Alexandria Niro. In the agreement of keeping Micrea's independence, Naofa and several of her relatives joined the military in efforts to protect themselves. When the agreement came to be, another dispute occurred at one system that was within the Micrea micro cluster, Kicrea, where Kicrea fell into the duristiction of the 5th Army, causing an era of troubles within the system, and a dispute that remained active since then. As the insurrection of Sector C occurred, Sector B's border defense force protected Sector B from the rebellious influence of Sector C from spreading any further.

Sector B remained as a relatively protected sector during the insurgance of the Resistance Initiative and the "Total Security Campgaign". During the abduction of Naofa Niro, the Resistance transported themselves to Sector B via Nox Niro and the Outside, in effort of escaping the 5th army's attempt of a rescue operation on one of the Resistance's outposts in Sector C. The Resistance landed themselves on the desolate planet 0128-B within the Micrea micro cluster, then made their way to Kicrea's capital planet, 0055-B, where it was struck yet again by the 5th Army, ultimately rescuing Naofa. In the first 2 years of the second civil war, the Resistance Initiative made it their goal to advance into Sector B after gaining a good chunk of Sector C. Kicrea ultimately became extremely unruly after a spec-ops mission conducted by the Resistance took place on 0055-B to escelate the situation. The defense was once again put up well by Sector B's border defense force, but ultimately became overwhelmed in the aftermath of operation: ASSAULT-SAVANNAH. The Resistance advanced well into Sector B after checkpoint THELTA fell, and its first target was the OWGRO's outpost SIGMA, resulting the 5th Army to conduct a counter raid. The 5th Army's defenses would further cripple after the 5th Army's defeat in the siege of 2201-B, and then the liberation of the Micrea micro cluster as the result of operation: FAE-EXTERMINATION. The Four Horsemen continued their efforts on the frontlines of advancing into Sector B, while the Resistance ventured to Homebase to rescue Ichor Seraphim.

## Government

Sector B is governed by the 5th Army from Homebase with its own delegation representing in the cosmic senate. On a sectorial scale, it is governed by the joint staff commission's Sector B body, the Joint Staff of Sector B. Little is known about the body, other than that administrator X was its chairman, then later overseer Crest. Marshal Masaru Oda was previously Sector B's chief of defense, but resigned from his position to serve as S1 Division's commander after the "Total Security Campaign" had concluded. The joint staff of Sector B did organize the termination of the hell-spawn that broke out of facility CHROMA.
