Qerkossian Shore

The Qerkossian Shore is a region of space defined by the Covenant as being located around the border of the later-established domains of the August Realms and the Scattered March. Located in relative proximity to the Y'Deio system, it was once part of the Holy Ecumene's periphery, settled a few centuries before the discovery of the Kig-Yar. It was once a key holdfast in the Covenant frontier, housing notable outpost-worlds (such as Jakat'haar and Ishebannai) that later seeded colonies in the Chikri-Merkaa Strand of the Siakar Expanse.
