Subsector N of Gateway Sector.
Description[edit]
About half of Ariel Subsector is territory of the Viyard Concourse.
The breakup of the old Galian Trade League had varying effects on the now-independent worlds of Ariel. Some worlds barely noticed, others were fought over or lost vital offworld goods and suffered a drop in technology level.
The subsector is also noted for the homeworld of the Faar, a people who nowadays don't like to leave home but who apparently travelled across the sector and beyond in a previous era.
Summary[edit]
Ariel, subsector N of Gateway contains 18 worlds with an estimated population of 4 billion, a per capita income of Cr3,611, and a total economy is BCr14,812. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr47 through 18 starports (2 Class A, 3 Class B, 10 Class C, 3 Class D) employing 7,350 people. Driving this interstellar trade are three Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, three Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Ariel maintain four Naval bases, and one Scout base. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 6 and 10). The highest technology level is 13 at Alphaaric (Gateway 1133).
Ariel, subsector N of Gateway contains 26 stars and 194 identified planets; ten monostellar systems, eight binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 15 of the 18 systems (83%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, two Desert (De) worlds, one Garden (Ga) world, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, four Poor (Po) worlds, no Vacuum (Va) worlds, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.
Ariel has an estimated population of 4 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 11 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, three Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Balaclaron (Gateway 1637). The population consists of 3 sophont groups including one native sophont.
