Credit for the original discovery of this sector goes to the [[Krilgorian]] fighter pilot [[Abbev]] Chez who, looking to get as far away from her annoying peers as she could, first jumped in, after discovering a gate from the Asteroids, in the year 2014 (towards the end of the initial [[Krilgorian]] push into space). Upon arrival the first thing she noticed was a distinct nauseous feeling she mistakenly put down to an expired serving of dehydrated Mud Worms she had eaten earlier. A quick shot from the autodoc to alleviate the symptoms made a small difference until her scanners placed an image of the main planet (pictured) on her viewscreen.

Towards the end of the initial [[Krilgorian]] push into space, Kril fighter pilot Abbev Chez - looking to get away from her annoying peers - made the first jump in, after discovering the gate from [[New Sector Alpha]]. Upon arrival the first thing she noticed was a distinct nauseous feeling she mistakenly put down to an expired serving of dehydrated Mud Worms she had eaten earlier. A quick shot from the autodoc to alleviate the symptoms made little difference until her scanners placed an image of the main planet on her viewscreen.
The feeling that the sight of this planet evoked reminded her instantly of her mating partner Neo Garen, thus completely overriding any small effect of the autodoc and rapidly leading to her stomach contents floating about where they weren't wanted. Totally disgusted the moment her hyperdrives recharged, she hypered out naming the sector Garen in her partners 'honour'. She didn't bother to make a detailed survey, because she was feeling too sick, and besides, she wanted to get home and check out the new 'holovision' technology that everyone was raving about.
 
 
 
In 2062, [[Tibran]]s 'rediscovered' the sector after scientists in [[Canopus West]] performing tests on the giant alien armada of ghost ships detected a new gate and sent a probe through to investigate. It reported back a fairly high, but manageable level of radiation, and sent an image of the planet Garen. Upon seeing the image, the scientists all began to feel ill, and mistakenly assumed that the alien flotilla was responding in some new way to their latest experiment. The ships were indeed responding, but not by making the scientists feel sick. Luckily the probe's information was forwarded to the homeworld before the station was vapourised.
 
 
 
Back at the homeworld, the Queen, although feeling quite ill all of a sudden casually approved the order for a colony ship to head to the sector before calling up surgical history of Captain W.F. Kaarp.....just to check on something.
 
  
The colonists arrived and although feeling absolutely terrible, did not dare disobey Royal Orders and dutifully set up their colony. After living miserably for a while they just couldn't stand it anymore and too sick, and tired to be bothered packing everything up, simply left the infrastructure in place and headed home.

All legions eventually discovered the strange sickening effects of the sector and no one wanted to have anything to do with it until finally the Galactic Council decided it would be a good place to put the galaxy's most hardened criminals and with a few additions, modifications and repairs converted the old [[Tibran]] colony structures into a penal colony. Not enough to lose their freedom, the worst of the worst criminals can look forward to a lifetime of nausea, an effect which helps to keep them manageable.

History

2014 - Discovery

Towards the end of the initial Krilgorian push into space, Kril fighter pilot Abbev Chez - looking to get away from her annoying peers - made the first jump in, after discovering the gate from New Sector Alpha. Upon arrival the first thing she noticed was a distinct nauseous feeling she mistakenly put down to an expired serving of dehydrated Mud Worms she had eaten earlier. A quick shot from the autodoc to alleviate the symptoms made little difference until her scanners placed an image of the main planet on her viewscreen.

The feeling that the sight of this planet evoked reminded her instantly of her mating partner Neo Garen, thus completely overriding any small effect of the autodoc and rapidly leading to her stomach contents floating about where they weren't wanted. Totally disgusted, the instant that her hyperdrive had recharged, she jumped out and named the sector "Garen" in her partners 'honour'. She didn't bother to make a detailed survey, because she was feeling too sick, and besides, she wanted to get home and check out the new 'holovision' technology that everyone was raving about.

2062 - Rediscovery

Tibrans 'rediscovered' the sector after scientists in Canopus West - performing tests on the giant alien armada of ghost ships - detected a new gate and sent a probe through to investigate. It reported back a fairly high, but manageable level of radiation, and sent an image of the planet Garen. Upon seeing the image, the scientists all began to feel ill, and mistakenly assumed that the alien flotilla was responding in some new way to their latest experiment. The ships were indeed responding, but not by making the scientists feel sick. Luckily the probe's information was forwarded to the homeworld before the station was vapourised.

Back at the homeworld, the Queen, although feeling quite ill all of a sudden, casually approved the order for a colony ship to head to the sector. She then called up the medical history of Captain W.F. Kaarp.....just to check on something.

The colonists arrived and although feeling absolutely terrible, did not dare disobey Royal Orders and dutifully set up their colony. After living miserably for a while they just couldn't stand it anymore and, leaving the infrastructure in place, headed home.
