WEYLAND ISLES SECTOR

A small hold out from the Weyland Era of expansion, the Weyland Isles lie just beyond the Outer Rim Territories. The sector was established by the 3WE in the late 2080s as a link between Earth and the now long-abandoned far spinward colonies. Containing a number of favorable stars, the sector drew the attention of the 3WE nobility. Nonetheless, funding was cut for sector development when Weyland Corp stocks dropped in the 2090s.   Sections of claimed space here are referred to as separate isles and are designated I through V. When the UPP formed in the early 2100s, the isles became even more isolated. Only the precious metals found in the area kept the 3WE from abandoning it completely. For decades, the royal marine contingent assigned to the sector has kept the Weyland Isles from leaving the empire. That changed when the local government of New Albion declared their world independent, leading what has become known as the 3WExit. The entire area is now contested by the 3WE, the New Albion rebels, the ICSC, and the UPP.
