Republic Sector

The Republic Sector is a loose grouping of stars in the Orion Spur of the Milky Way galaxy, in the Prime Universe. It possesses stars that are all holdings or affiliates of the Earth Republic, which has its main origin and government at Earth, a planet orbiting the star Sol. Taken on a single plane viewed from outside the galaxy, facing toward the core, the Republic Sector is approximately northwest of the Cetian Sector, northeast of the Xi Sector, east of the Machine Sector and Praezorian Sector, and southeast/south of Skelow Space.

In its neighborhood of sectors, the Republic Sector is comparatively small, and very special. It possesses one or several border stars that link it with most of its adjoining sectors--in fact, it possesses a higher ratio of border stars to main stars than any other known sector. The Republic Sector is less a sector in its own right than it is a bridge between sectors. This makes it a sector of great strategic value, to humans--and to everybody else.

Main Stars
Its constituent portal-linked stars:

- Sol

- Kapteyn's Star (KapStar)

- Epsilon Eridani

- Altair

- Sirius

Border Stars
Also locatable on the map are stars that are part of and lead into other sectors. They include:

- Tau Ceti (Cetian Sector)

- Xi Bootis (Xi Sector; Republic holdings)

- Wolf (Machine Sector; Republic holdings)

- Groombridge (Machine Sector; dead end)

- Ross 614 (Ross; leads to LTT and up into the Praezorian Sector)

- Omicron Eridani (Omicron Base; leads up to the Praezorian Sector)

In Other Universes
In the December Universe: The Republic Sector was once precisely like that of the Prime Universe, until the December Offensive destroyed the Star Navy, and the Praezorians razed Earth. The Republic Sector there is now part of the holdings of the Praezorian Empire.

In the Discord Universe: The Republic Sector is more-or-less the same in the Discord Universe, but the Republic has worked tirelessly to collapse and guard the portal between itself and Tau Ceti, and the portal map from Sol to Raselhague is much better-traveled.
