History[]
A sizable percentage of the Maya System's original colonists came from the planet Kemal. (CS2)
In 1772 PD, when the Maya Sector voluntarily asked for Solarian protection, its representatives were able to negotiate an exceptional administrative status. The sector was well developed, but not exploited by the Office of Frontier Security to the degree that was common in other systems. (CS1, SI1)
In 1919 PD, it was discovered by Anton Zilwicki that Elaine Komandorski's new identity as Georgia Sakristos was created in the Maya Sector. (HH10)
In 1922 PD, Sector Governor Oravil Barregos announced the sector's secession from the Solarian League and its independence as a new star nation, the Mayan Autonomous Regional Sector. (HH14)

- ↑ In Torch of Freedom, it is stated unambiguously that Barregos expected Brosnan to eventually be confirmed as permanent Lieutenant Governor, but also expected this is be delayed for a prolonged period, in the hope that Barregos would die and OFS could remove his entire administration. In Uncompromising Honor, she is referred to simply as 'Lieutenant Governor Brosnan'. This implies that by this time her position had been confirmed by Old Chicago, but this is not however explicitly stated.
