The Tiyanki Territories is a region within the larger Sector A1-0 that is renowned for its immensely diverse and partitioned inhabitants and astronomical phenomena. It's relatively secluded from the rest of the Sector as it unique nebulous expanses inhibit space travel to and from the region. Whatever information travels throughout the known routes is often tainted by myths, legends and mysticism. Giving the region a mystical reputation to the wider Sector.
Astrography
The Tiyanki Territories encompasses a region largely centered in-between the outer Expanses. In total the region is roughly 400 LY wide in all directions with a near constant depth of 100 LY. The expanses are a nebulous gas composition more dense than most nebulae that inhibit many forms of realspace travel, thus creating a preference for interdimensional space travel (most commonly through Hyperspace).
Great Expanse
The Great Expanse has a well deserved name as it forms the eastern border of the region ranging for roughly 300 LY from the galactic south to the galactic north.
Lucent Expanse
The Lucent Expanse, the second largest in the Territories, is famed for its more luminous nature compared to the other expanses. This is due to the abundance of more luminous stars within the expanse that give the expanse a larger presence in the skies around the Tiyanki Territories. Many legends have arisen surrounding these stars and have become many heavenly figures in the many cultures of the Territories.
Teal Expanse
Contrary to the other expanses, the teal Expanse has a more blueish appearance instead of the yellow-orange standard. It's also seen as the most mysterious of all expanses having been the least explored.
The Strip
The Strip is a region of space of roughly 100 LY that is sparsely consisting of star systems to the galactic west of the Teal Expanse. It's mostly known as a hideout for smugglers and pirates before targeting nearby civilizations.
History
Although little is known about the creation of the Territories, many civilizations have created their own theories. Some call it a divine creation or punishment, while others believe it to be a rupture in realspace. Others believe the expanses were created by a long forgotten cataclysmic war. Despite the many evidences for many theories, the origin of the region remains heavily debated.
While some species specialized into a certain niche, others had grander intentions. The Venterran House Veruk was one such case. The Venterrans played an active role in the continued evolution of the Vurk and acted as godly beings. Uniting the Vurk under a theocratic nation called the Vurk Communion in 4.094 BBT, House Veruk used their influence to divulge into a luxurious lifestyle. However, they also took not of the gifts of the Vurk's telepathic compatibility with the Tiyanki and created the Wayfaring Guild. A loose organization of Vurk Navigators that are able to guide starships through Veil. Some speculate that the Vurk are able to communicate with the Tiyanki through a rare form of telepathy and receive paths in interdimensional pathways through the expanses. The Wayfaring Guild has openly denied such allegations and retain their religious beliefs.
House Veruk also interfered during the persecution of a scientific movement within the Vurk Communion. To prevent an outright civil war, they relocated these persecuted individuals to a new star system hidden in the Great Expanse in 3.872 BBT. These isolated Vurk created a new nation where mega corporations are part of the government. In a radical course of action, these Vurk genetically engineered themselves into a new species: the Sellexians. The Sellexian Conglomerate remained isolated as House Veruk later fought in the Mantle Wars and retracted themselves from politics in the Vurk Communion.
Astropolitics
As the smaller star nations of the Tiyanki Territories reached one another, transnational political organizations began to emerge. Either for political aspirations, economic growth or even outright altruism, these organizations have grown to be astropolitical giants of the Tiyanki Territories.
Demographics
Although astronomical phenomena complicate all known methods of space travel, life still has managed to spread to the stars. Although more concentrated compared to the other star nations in Sector A1-0 as the region has a total population of roughly 3.8 trillion. Though the region is more densely populated than the Treecuu Star Empire by roughly 2 trillion, it still a small population compared to the larger star nations of the Sector such as the Drakari Celestial Imperium, and the Ryccian Empire.
However it should also be noted that the Tiyanki Territories hold over 35 sapient space-faring species with multiple races and subspecies of humanity which have become important factions in the region. How these Humans arrived in the region is yet unknown and one of the Territories' greatest mysteries.
