    Abstract: Outline of Laeth subsector (N of Gushemege), system stats and
    library data.

    LAETH SUBSECTOR

    Laeth is divide up into two  distinct cultural regions: the Ilelish Rim
    and the Heartland.  The Ilelish influence goes back  to the experiences
    of the  Long Night and has  retained much of the  character of Ilelish.
    Declaration  for  Dulinor  at  the  onset  of  the  Rebellion  was  not
    unexpected  but was  nevertheless regarded  with horror  by the  sector
    government.  The  'Heartland'  regions  of  Laeth  are  one of the most
    important  areas especially  as a  major food  producer/exporter and  a
    centre for many of the IISS activities.

    The subsector capital  of Sidur Ishki is an  important exporter of high
    tech  equipment, its  shipyards are   some of  the finest  producers in
    Gushemege. The majority  of the sector navy's vessels  at the high tech
    end are procurred  at the Nasiirka yards (now owned  by a consortium of
    local businesses).  This has led  to a number  of raids by  pro-Dulinor
    forces  in  1117  and  1118,  finally  falling  into  Ilelish  hands on
    214-1118.  However the  system wasn't  to stay  for long  under Ilelish
    control as Strephon's  navy managed to rest in back  in early 1119. Yet
    Dulinor's determination to win the system  bore friut at the end of the
    year when he managed to establish a forward fleet headquarters.

    Polygamy is named  after the curious custom on the  world of men having
    many concurrent  marriages. The practice  of taking many  wives follows
    the mysterious  outbreak of a  disease affecting the  nervous system of
    sexually mature  males. The male  population was decimated,  reduced by
    92%. In  order for the  population to survive  and grow the  government
    issued a  decree whereby each male  had to marry at  least three wives.
    Government financial bonuses were given to husbands for extra wives and
    lots of  children. Although the  population has now  reached the levels
    just prior to when the disease  struck the law requiring many wives for
    men has  never been repealed,  thus it is  still common for  the men on
    Polygamy to be married to several women. The higher the social position
    the  more wives  a man  is expected  to have.  Wives are  allowed to be
    married to more than man. There has recently been strong protests about
    the practice of polygamy on the  world by members of the fundamnetalist
    missionaries  of Shagaelo.  These missionaries  have clashed  violently
    with locals on a number of occassions.
