- It is considered to be an Imperial heartland.
- It has been settled for millennia.
Astrographic Features
- It is a standard stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Ramana system.

- Important trade routes within the region include the Nuzuu Main and the Sirim Loop.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Miruu Subsector.
- The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
- The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.

Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.
- Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
- Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.
Trade Routes
Mains are chains of star systems, each lying 1 parsec from its neighbour. They are trade routes, with high cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels moving along them, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds.
The Nuzuu Main
The Nuzuu Main has its spinward-rimward terminus within the subsector. The Main has 66 member worlds and runs between Verge and Ilelish Sectors.

- Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in green.
- Tripolis, the capital of Verge Sector, is marked in red.
World Listings
Comprehensive Second Survey UWP data for all worlds lying within the subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may contain contradictory or incorrect information.
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.
History & Background (Dossier)
The Old Verge Combine, a polity founded during the Long Night and centered on Tripolis, claimed a number of worlds within the coreward part of the subsector before being absorbed by the expanding Third Imperium. Its culture and history continues to be a regional point of pride.

Politics & Diplomacy
The more prominent members of the Imperial heirarchy of Miruu Subsector include:
Duchies
- Duke James Indrigiir of Tripolis also serves as the Sector Duke. A cool, calculating, and, when required, commanding leader. For reasons he chooses not to explain, his relationship with the newly seated Archduke Dulinor has started poorly.
Counties
- Countess Laasa Indrigiir (also of Tripolis) is the eldest niece of the Duke, and perhaps the most eligible Lady in the subsector, but it is common knowledge that she would be difficult to catch. An archetypal Terran redhead (from her mother's side), she is fiery, stubborn, and fiercely capable at her position in subsector and sector politics. Unlike her cousins - but like her mother - she eschewed the traditional Noble service in the Navy, instead serving with (and commanding with distinction in) the Imperial Marines. One of the newest High Nobles in the subsector, she was seated in 1100 and has already made the position her own.
- Count Josiah Montforte of Sulet is relatively quiet and unambitious for a member of the High Nobility. This may be a consequence of his needing to pick up the pieces after the reign of his father, who narrowly avoided the direst of consequences following a Crown Audit in 1092. Count Josiah recognizes that his probation, and that of his family name, is lifelong.
- Count Sebaston Naas-Bennel of Iedde is long-suffering, but due more to the nature of the world he is charged with overseeing than the ebb and flow of interstellar politics. His father, the Count before him (1064 to 1091), was a former member of the Children of Harmony, the religion that holds Iedde under absolute power. This complicates his dealings with the leadership of Iedde at nearly every turn, though he manages to keep some commerce flowing.
- Count Petros "Peter" Lycomaasha of Uranion is concerned with the future and economic health of his neighbours at Iedde, as even the slightest variation in demand from Iedde's 90 billion inhabitants can induce economic shockwaves at Uranion. A highly trained economist in his own right, Count Peter knows his business but often has trouble explaining it to others. He has found some success in making use of the most readily exported resource of his larger neighbor, the steady flow of Iedden "Wanderers".
Viscounties
- Viscount Hinrauch Pindi of Beraugaus is a charming and effective fellow, and an open supporter of the new Archduke.
- Viscount Arthelm Varcanian of Ksandi is talented and effective, but an inveterate worrier. Much like his Duke, he is quite good at seeing many moves ahead. As a Viscount his economic reach would normally be tied to the Duchy he is part of, but Viscount Arthelm has obtained the permission of the Dukes of neighboring Nuzuu Subsector to seek economic liaisons there as well.
News Coverage
Ilelish Interstellar Information Interchange (I4), the leading news and media organization within the sector, keeps close tabs on the activities and personal lives of the rich and titled and their various courtiers. Shows, broadcasts, and articles covering all of the politics, gossip, and scandal are widely available across a variety of formats. It is in open competition with other smaller media companies to be the first to get the top stories.
- While I4's style of jounalism is generally considered intrusive and sensationalist, the organization broadly supports the Imperial nobility, recognising the importance of the revenue stream that it generates.
- There are rumors of "understandings" between various parties and of some troubling stories being quashed.
