The Jaso Sector is a galactic sector in the Colonies, and is part of the Tapani Oversector and the Ruby Region. Jaso has two known systems, Polith and Tauber. Among these are 2 suns, 10 planets, 1 moon, 4 asteroid fields, 23 space stations, and a total population of 1,729,277,957 inhabitants. The most notable planet located within the Jaso Sector is Thyferra, homeworld of both the Thyferrans and the insectoid Vratix, who were the first to create the commodity known as bacta. Various successful boloball teams have also come out of Jaso. Notable trade routes include the Rimma Trade Route and the Shapani Bypass, with the most popular export being bacta.

History

The heart and soul of the Jaso Sector is undeniably the planet of Thyferra, located within the Polith system. Originally colonized by the insectoid species, the Vratix, Thyferra began to draw attention once humans discovered their invention that displayed incredible healing properties, bacta. The humans that immigrated into the system, greatly outnumbering the Vratix, eventually took over the bacta market and established successful trade routes exporting the new commodity. Created by combining alazhi and kavam, two materials unique to the planet, Thyferra and the Jaso Sector boomed with prosperity and a rise in population. The surrounding region became a hub of medical innovation and importance throughout the galaxy. As the Galactic Empire expanded its borders, the Jaso Sector was incorporated into the overarching Imperial Tapani Sector and was placed under the rule of the local Moff and developed further. More recently, its administration was reformed into the Tapani Oversector of the Ruby Region.

Society and Culture

Being on the outskirts of the core, the Jaso sector contains many alien immigrants who have been granted shelter and the opportunity to lead a prosperous life within the grace of his Majesty's domains. Given the importance possessed by the local Vratix and their significance in the Bacta industry, they are productively employed by many Imperial corporations - often times with some remuneration for their efforts as Class C citizens emancipated by the then Emperor Ndengin. In the Jaso Sector, knowledge and education is seen as being as vital as food and water. Children are encouraged to attend school starting at the age of 3, and continue primary education until the age of 16. From there, they have the choice to either go into a more technical occupation, such as mining, building, working in the foodstuffs industry, and a myriad other crafts required by the sector's highly developed economy. Alternatively, and perhaps more popularly, they can continue to their planet's branch of further schooling, provided by the Camden Institute of Collegiate Education. Various degrees from a CICE school may be required for more advanced, high-paying jobs, such as planetary ambassadors, mining hub managers, medical professionals, or members of the Jaso Special Ops Agency.

Sports

For millenia, Jaso's favorite pastime has been engaging in the glorious sport of boloball. From schoolyard matches up to the major leagues, boloball is a game enjoyed by all. The sport itself became widely popularized within the sector following the massive human immigration, often played during freetime from the slow process of establishing settlements throughout the new territory. Once human presence was solidified, the tradition lived on and became engrained in the Jasoan culture.

Multiple teams have gone on to represent the various planets from the sector in the Empire-wide Imperial Boloball League (IBL), including the {fill in teams}. The newest team to come out of Jaso and first to represent the sector as a whole is Jaso BC, founded and managed by Lieutenant Governor Maulak Khaos. Jaso BC is currently headquartered on Tauber and plays in the Angelus Arena. There also exists a smaller, local league simply within the sector. The Jaso Boloball League (JBL) is a wildly well-respected and popular sports organization with a team coming from each planet to represent their home. The Vratix also have a smaller division within the JBL, but it is less renowned than its human counterpart.

Law

Law within the Jaso Sector is very generally consistent with that of other sectors, and abides by the many directives of Imperial Law. Being a popular hub of trade and commerce, various initiatives have been set in place by the Imperial Security Bureau to screen incoming and outgoing ships, preventing the unlawful solicitation of commodities within Jaso. Checkpoints are established at each starport, as well as stations in orbit of each planet. Any and all offenders are held at the Bacardia Correctional Facility on Loxizhra, infamous for its harsh conditions and inventive punishment methods involving white rum. In very extreme cases, the local Sector Governor has been known to personally flog the offender with a large trout.

Being on the outskirts of the Tapani Sector, legal matters are generally left to local police enforcement and judicial systems, which are directly overseen by the Imperial Security Bureau. All security checkpoints are managed by the Jaso Special Ops Agency (JSOA), a team of specifically trained personnel who receive orders from, and directly report to, the Sector Governor. The JSOA is also responsible for dealing with any internal affair issues that may arise, such as crime rings, gang activity, smuggling, etc. Cases of high risk or danger are reported to more capable authorities (ISB or II), though the JSOA has not yet had to resort to that.

Economy

The economy of the Jaso Sector relies heavily on the bacta trade from Thyferra, resulting in the Polith system being a prominent point on the Rimma Trade Route and the Shapani Bypass.

Rimma Trade Route

The Rimma Trade Route is a major trade highway in the galaxy, extending from Abregado-Rae in the Core Worlds to the Kathol Sector of the Outer Rim. Originally mapped by Sullustan merchants from the Tapani Sector, the route has become a popular path for traders, as it passes through some of the most prosperous hubs in the galaxy. Since its conception, much of it has been seized and sanctioned under Imperial Law to benefit the development of the Empire's territory, primarily that Tapani Sector and those encompassed by it, including Jaso, along with assisting in the colonization of the south. The junction most relevant to the prosperity of the Jaso Sector is the Shapani Bypass.

Shapani Bypass

The Shapani Bypass, or the "Bacta Run" as it was commonly nicknamed, was a popular hyperlane used as a shortcut to deliver bacta from Thyferra to the Core Worlds. It was a sub-route of the Rimma Trade Route that ran from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim, however it was much more heavily traveled than the section of the Rimma that it bypassed and was often mistaken for being an actual part of the path. The establishment of this shortcut lessened the time to travel the Rimma by a matter of days.
The Bypass begins at Thyferra and splits with the Rimma Trade Route to pass through the Tapani Sector. This ultimately resulted in stops at various budding planets, such as Achillea, Aleron, Tallaan, (where it intersected the Giju Run and the Procopian Shipping Lane), Tamber, Lamuir IV, Alisandor and Mrlsst before rejoining the Rimma.
