The system is fairly dense, with multiple planetoid belts and several moons suitable for colonies. Several fair-sized cities have been built on other planetary bodies in the system. These colonies are subject to strict political control and generally specialise in one area of activity.
History[edit]
New Home (Reft 1925) built a second interstellar spaceship in 291 and launched it toward Esparanza. Esperanza was settled in 421. [2]
Located on the extreme spinward edge of the Clusters, Esperanza is ruled by a well-entrenched non-charismatic dictatorship which enforces an oppressive political structure. Its tentacles extend to two vassal worlds: Wellington (Reft 0925) and St. Hilaire (Reft 0930). Esperanzan technology (at B) lags behind the other major worlds of the two subsectors. [3]
Two lifeforms of potentially intelligent levels were present in the Clusters when the colonists arrived. One, the Batwings, has subsequently been identified as Droyne; they were eradicated within two hundred years of their arrival, a process Esperanzan historians are strangely reluctant to discuss. [4]
