The six class A starports in the Shial subsector are controlled by the Zhodani Navy. There
are only 15 populated worlds. The five unpopulated are sometimes used as a practice
ground for the Zhodani Marines and for orbital bombardment practice by the Zhodani
Navy. The whole subsector is very militarised, and there are no hi-population worlds here.
Most people here work for the Zhodani Armed forces in some way. The subsector has
been used for reorganisation in the frontier wars against The Imperium, and will probably
be used for that again. There is almost no traffic from the independent low-tech worlds in
the rimward (lower) part of the subsector since it is unlikely that a jump-4 ship should be
there anyway, but the border is still well guarded against spies from The Imperium. 

The total population is only 190 millions, and the highest population is 64 billions at
Entians. The highest tech-level is 14 at Jdieshaqra and Ibiedl. The subsector is named after
Admiral Shialtlasché who commanded a Zhodani Fleet in the 1st frontier war.
