===District 268=== 
A sparsely settled region between Glisten subsector and Five Sisters subsector. Most worlds are independent of the Imperium.  By Imperial decree, District 268 is open for Trade and Shenanigans.

* '''Mertactor''' is a lovely garden world with a short-sleeve breathable atmosphere. Technically in District 268, but currently associated with the more developed Imperial Glisten sector. About 10% of the population is Aslan, descended from a group of mercenaries employed by the Imperium around 950. They are pretty thoroughly assimilated. Mertactor has historical animosity toward its homeworld Mora. But its own governmental institutions are heavily influenced by Mora. While Mertactor is not a matriarchy, women traditionally get preference.

* '''Elixibeth''' A mid-tech world with a small population. Investment has been modest but Elixabeth is growing in prosperity. There is a move towards Imperial membership. The only real industry on Elixabeth is the extensive Class B starport. This derives much of its revenue from a subsidy paid by the Imperial Navy. Elixabeth was a notorious haven for spies before and during the Fifth Frontier War. The current situation is unsettled.
