Introduction:

Just like all of the sectors in Aragoth, Ragnarok is named after Norse Mythology. The sector is classified as neutral space (meaning not being owned by the Jenquai, Progen, or Terran races). Because of it's neutrality it is the home of numerous type of rogue ships.



Dolor

Calamity

Smerte

Natural features and landmarks of the sector:

The sector is based around the gas giant Ragnarok. The planet has three moons Dolor, Calamity, and Smerte. Calamity is the only "normal" shaped moon with Dolor and Smerte being asteroids captured in orbit around the planet.  Besides the usual ore fields scattered throughout the sector there is also a mysterious gravity well in the east side of the sector.


Native Life to Ragnarok:

One of the most interesting things about the sector is the abundance of ancient species. Brains and Brawn  can be found in abundance by the Infiniti-Orsini Ragnarok Scoop just to the south of the planet. It is said the Brains and Brawn are actually an ancient security sytstem. If this is correct than it is safe to assume that the mining scoop either stirred up something ancient or was put in a sacred area. When observing the Brains and Brawn it appears that the Brawn is there to protect the Brains. If one goes near the Brains with cloaking technology enabled the species appears to float relaxed and breathe normal. However once cloaking technology is disabled the Brains seem to go into a defense mode by freezing up and attacking the nearby aggressor. Even more interesting is that when the Brains go into defense mode, the Brawns immediately seem to rush to it's aide firing a shield around it.

Other than the Brains and Brawn there are some Manes and ostrea (seen above to the left) in the gas field to the south of the sectors space station, Traders Fort.

Other life in Ragnarok:

Ragnarok is filled with a wide variety of human inhabitants. Highport trading ships can be found heading to and from the Traders Fort Space Station. Due to the sectors neutrality rogue ships of unknown origin can be found near one of three camps Herlinsenn, Farthen, and Rassmussen. The Chavez clan of pirates seem to use the sector as one of it's bases of operation.  Sometimes the leader of the Chavez Pirates, Miguel Chavez can be seen check up on his clan at the frigate.  Sabine ships can be found flying throughout, one might assume to watch for rogue Sabine ship trying to hide from the ruthless Sabine leader Vinda. As well as the elusive Freespacers which seem try to exist without interference from the three main races. The Traders Fort also has patrols that watch the area on a regular basis for any major intrusion from the Progens, Jenquai, or Terrans.

Also of notable interest is that three other ancient species besides the Brains and Brawn can be found in the sector. Einharjar which can also be found in The Nifleheim Cloud, what appears to be their relatives Thorvalds, and Zenshai.

Vindi's Drones have also been found in this sector. It is possible that the drones get lost and somehow ended up in Ragnarok away from their home in The Nifleheim Cloud.


Non Native Features:

The sector is mostly a mining sector for the highport trading group. Along with three major rogue camps in the southern half of the sector a traders hub called Traders Fort can be found south of the planet. There is also a mining scoop that is operated in a joint effort by Infiniticorp and Orsini. The Chavez pirates also seem to have a battle frigate stationed there which would make sense and there is no controlling race in the sector.Net 7 also has a relay located in the sector no doubt to push their signal into the far reaches of Aragoth.

Traders Fort:

Traders Fort is the sectors only space station.  It is a hub for free trade regardless of your race or class affiliation. It's run by Tarnish Mchollis a former EarthCorps military personal who fought Jenquai in the infamous gate war. Tarnish is very weary about his past and he does not like to speak of it.


What else do we know about Ragnarok?

As has been stated Ragnarok is considered neutral space. While Sabine Reclaimer ships (seen to the left) can be found flying about the sector the Sabine Order has no jurisdiction in the sector. We also know that something terrible happened when InfinitiCorp and the house of Orsini tried to use the sector for mining. In speaking with Tarnish Mchollis in Traders Fort he tells of an incident where  someone named Vishara was actually eaten by Demons at the Infiniti-Orsini Ragnarok Scoop. While he does not specifically state that the demons are the Brains and Brawn it's pretty obvious by the amount of species surrounding the scoop that they are what he is reffering to.

One theory that has been going around that could answer some of the oddities of the sector is that of it being an Ancient war zone. As the Brains and Brawn are some sort of ancient security system one can assume that there is something ancient within the sector, more specifically in the planetary atmosphere or on the surface. This theory is further given weight by the fact that the sector is one of the few that has 5 different types of ancient species. In addition to the Brains and Brawn the ancient Einharjar, their relatives the Thorvald, and Zenshai (seen above) all can be found here.
