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
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]
