The Tapani Sector is a vast area of space in the Expanse region of thew Mid Rim. Tapani is split into various regions or provinces, each ruled over by the nobles of the various Houses. Court intrigue and diplomacy are the weapons used in the Tapani Sector as Houses vie for power.

The Empire monitors, the sector very closely, although the sector Moff holds no real power over the Houses. Houses Melantha and Mercetti are the two power Houses of the sector, both allied with the Empire in their own way. House Pelagia is still recovering from an invasion by house Mercetti as Pelagia was once home for many Jedi and has openly opposed the Empire.

For a detailed description of the Tapani Sector please see the Lords of the Expanse box set by WEG.

The Tapani Sector is home to several characters of the Warriors of Gar and club Squirrel and the location for many of our adventures.



Key locations

House Pelagia

While House Pelagia publicly accepts the Empire they are still in secret sponsoring Rebel Alliance activities in and out of the sector.

Pelagon

This it the capital world of House Pelagia. Pelagon is a water world with the occasional island housing the richest of the Pelagia Lords. Most of the population dwell in the magnificent cities that dot the surface of the planet.

North Ridge
The North Ridge is a vast undersea chasm of unknown depths and home to various monstrous sea creatures. Nearby is an underwater archaeological research station, aptly named the North Ridge Research Station.



Fridgia

This is a small distant planet that was likely just a small satellite moon then broke orbit billions of years ago. The planet is covered in high snow covered mountains, the weather is harsh at all times. Despite this there are a number of small Pelagian outposts, mainly from families ousted from their home during the Mercetti invasion.

There is but a single outpost, Alpha Platform, with landing platforms, and the weather is too harsh for any kind of winter sports.

Gree Hypergate
Fridgia does however hold a secret. Deep below the surface not far from Alpha Platform is a Gree Hypergate. Only a handful of individuals know of the Hypergates existence including Lady Mattherson and Queen Bloodaxe of Gar. Should anyone find the Hypergate they would still have the issue of knowing how to use it.



Procopia

The central world of the Tapani Sector does not fall under the direct control of any House. It is neutral ground for the richest and most elite of all Tanpani nobles and Corporate businessmen.

Regular civilians need to be sponsored by a House to be able to live and work on Procopia.

At the heart of all Tapani celebrations is the Shey Tapani Palace. This magnificent palace holds all the major Gala Balls including Tapani Day and celebrations.

Royal Hotel
Only officially licensed premises that can genuinely trace their history back to the days of Shey Tapani have the right to use the term Royal in their name, but none is more prolific than the Royal Hotel. During holidays and celebrations a room here can cost in the region of half a million credits per night. No self-respecting Tapani Lord would stay anywhere else... if they can get a booking.



House Barnaba

Keeping much to itself, House Barnaba is now home the Jeribiah Joseph (Club Squirrel).

JAN - Justice Action Network

Not all is glitzy and gold in the Tapani Sector.  There are those who are unhappy with how the Lords of the Expanse have seemingly surrendered to The Empire, and feel that the Rebel Alliance is doing nothing to help.  The Justice Action Network are Rebel extremists with no affiliation with the Rebel Alliance.

The JAN target what they see as military and commercial targets that aid or are allied to The Empire. Policing is strict on any JAN operatives arrested.  JAN do not see anyone who has accepted Imperial rule as being innocent.

Piracy in the Expanse

The Tapani Sector is a rich area of space, thus it is ripe pickings for pirates and scoundrels out to make easy credits at the expense of those who have them.  Military ships from all House along with Imperial star cruisers constantly patrol the sector, but the pirates don't give in easily, and there are plenty of small moons for them to hide.

Of all the pirates operating in the sector the most renown is a Trianni called Freylorn Forlorn.  Possibly the most narcissistic being ion the galaxy, he loves nothing more than admiring his own image while being preened by his slave girls. 

Freylorn operates several large cruisers and a small fleet of starfighters which constantly target unarmed freighter or luxury cruisers throughout the Tapani Sector.
