The Araxian Sector

The Araxian Sector is a small self sustaining sector in the Mid Rim located just off the Rimma Trade Route.  The Sector's main systems, of which there are five, are located along the Araxian Bypass which branches off the main Rimma Route.  The five main planets are the Capital Dal-Kinsal, Ekinsal, Hautauron, Siridia, and Zeriscaan.

The five main planets in the Araxian Sector have formed a coalition called the Araxian Technocratic Alliance. The Alliance was created after the planets found that their economies were not benefiting from the taxing of trade routes by the Republic, nor by the way that funding from the Republic was being handled. The leaders of the five planets felt that they had all that was required to support themselves, and so declared themselves a separate territory.

The creation of the Alliance was mainly instigated by the scientific community. As a result, a large number of their leaders are doctors, professors and scientists. The worlds within the Alliance have their own governments, and stand alone without fear of being overthrown by the Alliance. The idea of the Alliance is to allow an independent body with representatives from each planet to govern trade agreements, and develop ways to generate income for the world within the Alliance's sphere of influence.

Each of the worlds has four representatives on the Alliance Council. The Alliance is led by one person who is allowed to hold the position for no more than 3 years. The first of these leaders was Professor Novis Kal who had received many awards for his humanitarianism especially in the field of medicine.

Unfortunately for the Alliance, over the last few months, a large number of corporations and institutions have withdrawn their support from within the sector so as not to be seen to be going against the Republic, or to be providing resources to dissidents.  This has meant that the Araxian Sector has fallen on dark times financially, and in some parts of the sector, poverty is commonplace.  This is heavily apparent on the world of Dal-Kinsal, the least industrial of the systems in the Alliance.

Many of the inhabitants of the 5 worlds have voiced their concerns regarding the necessity of the Alliance’s existence and have started questioning the motives of those representing their interests on the council. With this dissent and poverty has come rebellion and terrorism.  Governor Kal has called for calm, and has refused the assistance of the Araxian Starfleet and the Military to quell the insurgents, hoping for peace through diplomacy.

Of course, while the Alliance is dealing with these threats, a number of individuals have started clambering for power, and have begun back door deals with other Alliance members to gain power and influence which have included plots of assassination.
