This area houses a cluster of abandoned settlements that were linked to Project Dynasty. Back in the year 3270, the architects of those missions sent out fleets to look for Earth-like Worlds and candidate planets for terraforming, in three different regions. Unbeknownst to the crew, these tasks were meant to prepare a contingency plan, places for humanity to escape to if the Thargoids would return and invade the old worlds. However, upon completion of their respective missions, each and every ship was sabotaged: the organisers wanted to keep the project a secret, and made sure that nobody would return. Those who survived the initial attacks were still stranded, far beyond any hope of rescue.

The survivors left behind log messages, which were picked up by automated systems at the so-called Rally Points: small settlements which were built as staging points for the Dynasty expeditions. These outposts have long since been abandoned, but the data uplinks still function, and explorers can read the final messages of the doomed members of the Project Dynasty fleets.

Four settlements can be found in this area:

1. Alpha Settlement: Eafots EU-R c4-1
2. Beta Settlement: Eafots LZ-H b10-0
3. Gamma Settlement: Eafots RA-G b11-0
4. Delta Settlement: Eafots GL-Y e2

The flagship of the Dynasty fleets, the Zurara megaship, can be found farther along the route, at Syreadiae JX-F c0. The members of the beta settlement have received the Zurara's distress signal, but by the time they did, it was too late - for both parties.
