The Spinward Marches (Zhodani: Tloql) is the Imperium’s farthest frontier sector, containing 439 star systems divided along a coreward/rimward line by the Imperial border. The region is dominated by two major powers: the Imperial Spinward Marches sector apparatus administered from Mora (Spinward Marches 3124) and the frontier provinces of the Zhodani Consulate administered from Cronor (Spinward Marches 0304).
In the independent territory between the two powers lie four smaller interstellar nations: the Federation of Arden, the Sword Worlds Confederation, the Border Worlds (a splinter state cut from the Sword Worlds during the Fifth Frontier War), and the Darrian Confederation. Each follows its own diplomatic line designed to maintain independence from both the Zhodani and the Imperium.
The Spinward Marches has been settled since the 400s and is still a frontier sector. High-tech worlds are scattered among empty, fallow worlds; there is potential for exploration, exploitation, and development for centuries to come.
The Sector is about 62% Imperial controlled with worlds belonging to various factions:
- Independent
- Zhodani Consulate
- Darrian Confederation
- Sword Worlds
- Client States
Astrography and travel in the Marches is dominated by the Spinward Main, a chain of 223 systems accessible by Jump-1 which exists in 15 of the Marches 16 sectors.
