It is a group of star clusters in a twenty light year cube of space tucked away under the belly of a enormous purple nebula called the Great Morass. These clusters are home to interstellar governmental alien empires, colonial worlds, and ancient elven home worlds cloaked in mystery and magic. Current Day Stella Sector: The Stella Sector has is divided into four subsectors quartering off various clusters of stars. The shape and look of the politics of present day Stellar Winds by the Star League Empire a powerful government of human worlds that raided distant worlds for resources, gold, and magic. The Star League ruled for over 100 years unchecked in much the same style of Spanish empire of the 1500s. The Star League carted off treasures found on distant worlds in giant space gallons though fell apart to internal strife during its twilight years giving rise to the Kingdoms of Gaia ruled by absolute monarchies waring over the ruins left behind by the Star League in the colonial frontiers of Stella Sector.

Advanced in technology and magical by nature they're civilization was vast and cultured. They had the ability to travel from one star system to another in a matter of minutes through the use of a the Starway. A network of passages that connect together in between time and space. However as advanced as there civilization was the destruction of there capital world to a super nova plunged the civilization into utter chaos leaving the various distant worlds isolated and alone without the ability to access the Starway. This dark age marked the start of a slow death of the star elves and the rise to alien empires in neighboring clusters and later on the humans.
