Plankwell, subsector N of Spinward Marches has 32 worlds, of which 18 have native gas giants. The estimated population for the subsector is 22 billion sophonts (not necessarily humans). There are three High population (Hi) worlds, six Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 13 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, five Low population (Lo) worlds, and one Barren (Ba) world. There are three Agricultural (Ag) worlds versus two Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, and three Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds. There are seven Rich (Ri) worlds versus two Industrial (In) worlds. There is one Asteroid (As) belt, one Desert (De) world, three Garden (Ga) worlds, three Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, five Poor (Po) worlds, four Vacuum (Va) worlds, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds. There are three Naval bases in the subsector, seven Scout bases, and no Way stations. In Plankwell there are two race homeworlds. The highest population world is Pagaton (Spinward Marches 1634). The highest tech level is E at Collace (Spinward Marches 1237) and Mille Falcs (Spinward Marches 1637). The average technology level is 9 (with most between 6 and 11).

Territorial Overview[edit]

Notes (2007)[edit]

The population data in The Spinward Marches was superceded by different numbers in Safari Ship.

  • Rancke 10:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Does Safari Ship expressly state that its figures superscede the data presented in Spinward Marches or is that merely an assumption? Unfortunately, the revised planetary population of just 1.6 Billion is not in accord with the statements concerning overpopulation that are key to the existing Forine and Elixabeth writeups.

The population data in The Spinward Marches claimed that District 268 had 2.456 billion inhabitants. This is not possible if Forine has a population of 5.9 billion. It's not even possible if Forine has a population of 1.6 billion. The 2.456 figure was presumably arrived at by counting all populations as having population multipliers of 1. The information from Safari Ship is based on the canonical population multipliers.
Note that the Forine and Elixabeth writeups are based on the same source that reduced the population of Forine to 1.6 billion. We can keep one or the other, but not both. Since we have to toss one, why keep the one that is less plausible[*] and creates huge problems (namely, explaining where all that food comes from)? Especially since the description doesn't really work even if all 6 billion people live on the surface of Forine.
[*]Less plausible? Well, that's just my opinion, of course.
Rancke 14:17, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

The dependent relationship between the Forine and Elixabeth writeups relates to overpopulation in the former, not to the "food problem". If, as Rancke has written, Forine's SYSTEM-WIDE population is assumed to be 5.9 Billion, then the overpopulation issue is still valid.--

Why is Patagon not Pagaton on the map?
