Sub-sector Lacerta

Sub-sector Lacerta is dominated by Imperial factions. Its capital is the Geckoling System, which is home to the mighty Imperial Knights of House Geckoling, The Imperial Guard Regiments of the aformentioned name, as well as Mexico. Of course there are other systems in the Sub-sector as well - an estimated 300 in total, about half of which are inhabited by Humanity. Lacerta is notable for the extreme diversity of its worlds, which range from hellish Death Worlds like Acryl, to beautiful Garden Worlds and impregnable Fortress Worlds.

Although part of the Imperium, Lacerta does not abide by all Imperial Norms. The stagnation and death of technological innovation present in the greater Imperium is not present: several Forge Worlds within this Sub-sector not only pursue the advancement of human science but focus on it. This has lead to much better living conditions overall on the worlds within Lacerta, but has also brought condemnation from Imperial authorities. Were the goods, weapons, and soldiers delivered to the Imperium not of such fine quality and strategic importance, it is likely direct action against the offending worlds and Subsector as a whole would have occurred long ago.
