This is a high tension subsector between the two large empires, The 3:rd Imperium and The Zhodani Consulate, and the two local powers, The Darrians and the Avalars. The Imperium have a forward base at Hollis. In the middle of this is a strange world that have kept its independence. This is Reidain, an ellipsoid waterworld with a 2 billion population. Reidain also controls two of its neighbour systems. Since this is a high tension subsector, many of the worlds have a high tech-level. The highest TL is D at six different worlds. Five worlds have TL C. Reidain have benefited from this and also risen its TL to D. The Avalars control four systems in this subsector. These systems were part of the former Kamrati League. The TL of these four systems is not very high. There is a jump-3 gap to the rest of the subsector, and therefore only limited contact. The Avalars have a defensive and trading base at Ryanbiwul. Comments: The Alenzar and Raschev systems appeared in Double Adventure 5. (Chamax Plague/Horde) More about the bugs on Raschev and Striker units meeting them can be found in JTAS No. 17. Hollis is from Imperial Lines #1. The name for the subsector is Reidain at the full color map of the Spinward Marches that came with the Deluxe Edition. In Imperial Lines #1 it is called Reidan.
