Volume of space of 500,000 cubic light years, approximately centered on Albireo. Fairly densely populated and well settled region, including a number of important cultural and economic worlds.
Although it includes a number of systems closely affiliated with several of the bigger super-empires like the Dominion and the MPA, most of the polities in this sector have only nominal allegiance, or are completely independent.
Most of these polities have links and ties through the Cygexba wormhole/ stargate nexus, and many of these systems serve as something of a waystation between the Inner Sphere and the Cygexba Outer Volume. The region is dominated by the Albireo Confluence.
