Spinward Main
The Spinward Main is an astrographic group of systems in the Spinward Marches Sector, each within jump-1 of another.
- Together, this grouping forms a corridor of jump points that allows simple jump-1 ships to travel to fifteen of the sixteen subsectors within the Spinward Marches, and to 236 of the sector's 439 known worlds.

Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Spinward Main: Meandering throughout the Spinward Marches is an informal trade route called the Spinward Main. This Main is a line (actually several lines, with branches) of worlds each only jump-1 from the next. The result is that long, often profitable trading journeys are possible even for lowly jump-1 ships. From Regina, the Main extends coreward, into the subsector. It also extends spinward, beyond the Imperial borders, ultimately to Querion subsector and the Zhodani Consulate. [1]
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The Spinward Main has been popularly divided into several subsections, such as a cul-de-sac branch which enters Regina subsector at Jenghe and extends as far as Efate.
- Other segments include:
- By long tradition, heading in the direction of District 268 Subsector (broadly Spinward-Rimward) or along the Trin Arm (Trailing-Rimward) from Regina Subsector is ‘Down the Main’; the opposite direction is ‘Up.’
Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)[edit]
While most of the Main lies within the borders of the Imperium, branches enter the Darrian Confederation and the Sword Worlds Confederation, and some segments traverse neutral space.
- Short branches of the Main extend into both Foreven Sector (3 systems) and Deneb Sector (6 systems).
