Elinor
The world of Dagport might have been ruled by a Old Blood Lord, but there were still large populations of Furse who had settled on it and many other worlds in generations since the Great Savage Host. Most of North eastern Commonwealth had been conquered and settled, everything north of the Western Fabian Route, and all the worlds along that stretch of the Gateways. Even Bastion had fall to them.
Dagport was also the western most system in the Furia Sector, and the only system on the Fabian Gateway network. It was rich in trade, rich in intelligence and lies.
Elinor had been the to the system in the past. It was a large and populous system. The Gateway to the Furia Sector within the Commonwealth. Although the only system on the northern Fabian Gateway network, the rest of the sector lay on the eastern edges of Commonwealth Space, but was still the second most populous sector at more than 52 billion spread out across countless minor subsystems, and the four major systems of Dagport, Osgar, Rustberry, and the Stout Systems.
Dagport was typical for any system within Furia. There was a large population of the Furse, likely the largest in the Commonwealth, although not the only sector fill with large Furse populations. It was also typical for any system on the a Fabian Gateway Network with a steady stream of starships going in and out of the system.
The Furia Sector was subject to non stop raids from the Furse, although it seemed like the worlds of Furia were just as likely as to launch their own raids and pirates, and many a starship traveling outside it’s border would be hit by raiders from Furia as from the Nord Void or Furse. They were at least smart enough not to attack their own, such as the Kingsgate, Bastion, or Bloom Sectors.
Crown Prince Osmund spent several days on Dagport in meeting with local lords, and Commonwealth Forces stationed in the system, as he did in any system they stopped in to take on supplies and unload what they could.
Elinor was still surprised by the welcome he seemed to get no matter where they went. News networks were filled with non stop feeds about his every moment while in system. They recounted the minor battles he had fought, and as always the talking head spoke of ‘Ansgar’ and what truly happened on the starship which was the death of all but a few hundred of the five thousand.
The theories were always crazy, but in truth Elinor could never find anything new on the matter. The local system Nets were always filled with something on the matter, but nothing that Elinor hadn’t read a hundred times before, and nothing that was likely to be remotely true. The closest she had gotten was classified files which she refused to crack.
Elinor thought about her own father. He had survived that disaster and refused to speak about it. Osmund had been a young officer under his own command, and she was sure there was something to the story other than the offical reports of some reactor issue, but everyone thought that.
