Windhorn Sector is a turbulent Vargr-dominated region lying along the coreward border of the Third Imperium.
- It is solidly Vargr Space and part of the Vargr Extents.
- It is known as Gotsdzo Sector to the Vargr, a name that loosely translates as "Domain of Pale Stars".
- It was called Kishadikhu Sector during the Ziru Sirka.
Description (Specifications)
Windhorn Sector is both named after and best known for the presence of the Windhorn Rift, a major astrographic feature.
The sector lies directly to coreward of the Third Imperium.
- Parts of it were once held by the Ziru Sirka and later administered by the Rule of Man.
- Some ambitious Imperial Nobles still consider the sector's rimward subsectors part of the Domain of Vland, even though no official Imperial possession exists.
Astrographic Features
The following astrographic and commercial data regarding the sector has been determined:
- The center of the sector is a rift density region: parts of the spinward-coreward and rimward-trailing quadrants are standard stellar density regions.
- The brightest star in the sector is the unstable red giant primary of the Gaedueng system. It is sometimes called the Eye of the Rift.
- Two major trade routes terminate within the region: the Vilani Main and the Nudashiir Lagani.
- The Kanae-Figorurzaz Trade Run, the Vedhaaez Cluster, and the Gvuekh Cluster are important local trade routes lying within the rimward parts of the sector.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Windhorn Sector.
- 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.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
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 sector and far beyond.
- The sector contains an unusually high number of white main sequence stars, an astronomical phenomenon some authorities believe to be related to the presence and nature of the Windhorn Rift.
Rifts and Voids
The sector forms the central-rimward part of the Windhorn Rift.
- The rift hinders travel and commerce across the region.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.
The boundaries of rifts were established centuries ago, when the highest commonly encountered tech level was TL–12.
- This level of technology allowed the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
- Areas that couldn't be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels were denoted as rifts.
This traditional definition of rift regions remains in use today: while modern high performance starships can easily cross them, most commercial vessels continue to utilize Jump-3 or less drives. Because of this most traffic is concentrated within higher stellar density regions, and as such the classic definition and boundaries of rift regions remains relevant.

Economic Astrography
Corporations
Several major corporations operate within the sector:
- Most goods that are transported around the rimward edge of the Windhorn Rift are carried by Gzugzo Lines, a sector-wide company that also extends services into Provence Sector.
- Menderes Corporation, based in the Julian Protectorate far to trailing, operates within the region.
- The Imperial Megacorporation Naasirka, with strong historical ties to the area, maintains a significant presence within the sector.
Vargr Corsairs
Vargr Corsair bands can pose a considerable risk to interstellar trade and commerce within the sector.
- Corsairs can often be negotiated with and many accept tribute in return for safe passage through their territory.
- Vessels and crews are advised to travel armed and ready to defend themselves.
Trade Routes
A number of trade routes exist within this area. Of these, the most important are:
The Nudashiir Lagani
A few worlds within the rimward-trailing corner of the sector lie on the Nudashiir Lagani, the great Lishun-Gashikan Main.
- An eclectic mix of vessels, both human and Vargr, work their ways along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
- The sector lies on the far spinward end of the main.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- The trailing subsectors of Windhorn Sector are depicted central left.
- Worlds on the Main are highlighted in green.
The Vilani Main
The sector marks the coreward end of the Vilani Main, the mighty trade artery of the Ziru Sirka.
- High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

- The rimward subsectors of Windhorn Sector are depicted top-center.
- Worlds on the Main are highlighted in green.
- Vland is marked in red.
The Kanae-Figorurzaz Trade Run
The rimward subsectors of the sector contain a small Main called the Kanae-Figorurzaz Trade Run. The Main has 28 member worlds.
- It runs between Aekhgal Subsector, Gvadhoe Subsector, and Voenggaks Subsector.
- It lies entirely within the Ngath Confederation, a Vargr polity.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in tan.
- Kanae is marked in red.
- Figorurzaz is marked in orange.
The Vedhaaez Cluster
The rimward-trailing worlds of the sector are members of the Vedhaaez Cluster, a trade route running between Corridor Sector, Vland Sector, and Windhorn Sector. It is a small Main.
- It has 39 member systems.
- A few of its coreward worlds lie within the Ngath Confederation, a Vargr polity.
- Some of its rimward worlds are members of the Imperium.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in tan.
- Vedhaaez, the namesake of the cluster and the capital of the Ngath Confederation, is marked in red.
The Gvuekh Cluster
The Gvuekh Cluster is a trade route running primarily between Voenggaks Subsector and Kishadiku Subsector. It has a few member worlds along the rimward edge of Sunggoe Subsector as well as a single world within Khuulu Subsector of Meshan Sector. It is a small Main.
- It has 42 member systems.
- It lies entirely within the borders of the 17th Disjuncture, a Vargr polity.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in tan.
- Gvuekhluerar, the primary world of the cluster and the capital of the 17th Disjuncture, is marked in red.
Tukogan Trade Circuit
The Tukogan Trade Circuit lies at the hub of three major local trade routes, the Gvuekh Cluster, the Khuulu Main, and the Nudashiir Lagani.
- Its primary world is Tukogan, in Khuulu Subsector of Meshan Sector.
- It is a fractious trade association made up of disparate interests, with links to many worlds and organizations.
- It facilitates trade and commerce across the region.

Windhorn Chain Jump Bridge
The Windhorn Chain is the name given to a proposed jump route across the Windhorn Rift. It would pass through Khonsu, Uroez, and Tsougak Subsectors of Windhorn Sector.
The concept is to construct a jump bridge, consisting of one or more deep space refuelling facilities located within Uroez Subsector, deep within the rift.
- The jump bridge would facilitate trade and travel between Provence Sector and Lair, the Vargr homeworld, and the Vargr-dominated sectors to trailing.
Proposed Designs
Two variant proposals exist: a jump-4 bridge and a jump-6 bridge.
A basic map showing the proposed location of the jump-4 Windhorn Chain Jump Bridge.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- The Bridge facilities would lie within interstellar hexes 1811 and 2211 of Uroez Subsector.
A basic map showing the proposed location of the jump-6 Windhorn Chain Jump Bridge.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- The Bridge facilities would lie within interstellar hex 2011 of Uroez Subsector.
Issues and Concerns
Objections to the concept as proposed include:
- It would incur massive expenditure and require considerable amounts of materials to set up and get operational.
- It would require advanced ships, as well as support and maintenance facilities to keep them running. Few such ships are available within the extents.
Ownership and control of the proposed route is a contentious topic and negotiations to resolve it have been extremely fraught.
Despite these issues Gzugzo Lines, a major shipping interest within the sector, continues to support the idea.
Many believe that the jump bridge, in one of its two proposed forms, already exists.

- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.
History & Background (Dossier)
The Vargr dominate the sector. They are divided into three notable political blocs:
- The coreward-spinward part of the sector, across the eponymous Windhorn Rift, is part of the Empire of Varroerth, the largest and most enduring polity within the Vargr Extents.
- On the rimward side of the sector, in space once held by the Vilani of the Ziru Sirka, two extensive nations are currently extant – the older Ngath Confederation and the more recently formed 17th Disjuncture. The Disjuncture is particularly belligerent and expansionistic.
Vargr are the majority population in all regions, though communities of mostly Vilani-descended Humans, wandering Hlanssai, long-entrenched Hhkar, and the sector's native Aezorgh can be found.
Native Sophonts
The following races (sophont species) are believed to have originated within this sector:
- Aezorgh of Soghzalghag. Clever and devious but physically small hexapods that are tolerated on most worlds rather than being seen as equals.
- They are ovoid, with wide tooth-filled mouths, two pairs of eyes (with each pair sensitive to different wavelengths of energy), four arms ending in four-fingered hands, two legs, and an outer covering of feather-like structures that serve to insulate the body.
- Their homeworld has long been occupied by the Vargr and the Aezorgh are now a small minority of the population. However, over the millennia, the species have spread throughout the rimward part of the Vargr Extents. There are significantly more offworld Aezorgh than there are on the homeworld.
- The name translates most literally as vermin.
Demographics
The total population of Windhorn Sector is estimated at 278.634 billion sophonts.
Significant populations of the following sophont races reside within this sector:
- Terragens (Non-human Terran races)
- Vargr (Major Race): the majority population within the sector.
- Humaniti (Human Races)
- Mixed heritage (Major Race): sparsely distributed across the sector.
- Solomani (Major Race): sparsely distributed across the sector.
- Vilani (Major Race): mainly found within those parts of the sector that were formerly part of the Ziru Sirka.
- Non-Human Races
- Aezorgh of Soghzalghag: native to the sector and sparsely distributed across the rimward parts of the Vargr Extents.
- Dhaen of Dhaen, in Provence Sector: small, long-bodied, fur-covered humanoids not recognized by the Vargr as being sophont.
- Some Vargr keep them as pets or as servants.
- Hhkar of Skkyhrk, in Amdukan Sector: very large, powerfully built, carnivorous, egg-laying, generally humanoid reptillianoids.
- The species have maintained small settlements and colonies in a broad sphere around their distant homeworld for millennia.
- There are long-established populations on Gvoezonakh, Khoodukhsoung, Roerragh, and Vaerrgkhir. Some of these predate the Ziru Sirka.
- Hlanssai of Vrirhlanz, in Gzaekfueg Sector: sensual, impulsive, emotional humanoids with a strong wanderlust who may occasionally be encountered in small groups.
- They are considered "unstable" by the notoriously unpredictable Vargr.
Linguistic Topography
The following languages are among the most commonly used within this astrographic region:
- Logaksu: a Vargr language widely spoken throughout all parts of the sector. It is the main language of the Empire of Varroerth.
- Ovaghoun: a Vargr language widely spoken within the Ngath Confederation and 17th Disjuncture.
- Mavek Errgh: The most common of the many local Vargr languages.
Other widely spoken languages include:
- Anglic: one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
- Vilani: one of the two official languages of the Imperium.

Worlds, Systems & Sectors (Political Astrography)
The Windhorn Rift is centered on the sector and extends both spinward and coreward.
Political Astrography
A number of broad astropolitical areas are found within Windhorn Sector:
- Vargr Extents: worlds and systems occupied by the Vargr or under the dominion of one of the three major Vargr polities within the region. Many worlds have small human communities and "infestations" of Aezorgh.
- Balkanized Space: regions containing non-aligned world-states. At present, only the interior of the Windhorn Rift qualifies as Balkanized Space. This is likely to change as allegiances shift, particularly within the unstable rimward parts of the sector lying along the coreward border of the Imperium.
