Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector is a far off frontier of the Third Imperium, in which:

Many astrogators simply call this sector Glimmerdrift Sector or the Glimmerdrift. It is named for the astrographical feature known commonly as the Glimmer Drift.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).

This astrographic region is sparsely populated, with a low stellar density. Numerous poorly surveyed worlds are located throughout the sector and a very large number of radio-opaque nebulae have long frustrated IISS efforts to better chart the area. The Delphi Rift is a significant barrier to interstellar traffic in the spinward-coreward part of the sector.

The Glimmerdrift Reaches functions as an Imperial Fringe, a sort of crossroads where Imperials and non-Imperials can trade, conduct talks, and otherwise interact. Several of the major race powers have significant interests in the region:

Physcial Astrography[edit]

The following astrographic data regarding the sector has been determined:

  • It is a low to average density region.
  • The sector is dominated by the Delphi Rift.
  • The brightest star in the sector is the yellow bright giant primary of the Keepsake system.

Stellar Distribution[edit]

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within the Glimmerdrift Reaches, right:

  • 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 sector and far beyond.

Rift Regions[edit]

The Glimmerdrift Reaches is dominated by the Delphi Rift, a major rift region. It also contains four minor rifts and a large number of minor voids that are too small to qualify as a true rift. These various areas of lower stellar density serve to hamper travel and restrict commerce within its boundaries.

Named rift regions include:

Nature of Rifts[edit]

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based purely on Jump Drive performance.

Rift regions generally relate to regular commercial traffic and the way it travels between destinations. Merchant vessels with jump-4 drives or better are fairly rare because of the higher costs involved in operating the vessel, the lower revenue generated by the reduced cargo space due to the need for large fuel tanks, and the relative paucity of technologically advanced maintenance facilities within the region. As a result, the vast majority of merchant vessels are capable of jump-3 or less.

  • Large areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
  • The nature and borders of a rift may be determined by other criteria in different regions.

Within the sector, some rift regions have traditional origins, with their borders defined by historical rather than purely astrographic considerations. By modern criteria they may not count as rifts.

In order to qualify as a rift, the region must have ten or more contiguous hexes. Many areas have minor void regions that are too small to qualify as a true rift, but are still significant enough to seriously hamper and channel interstellar travel.

Military vessels and specialist ships such as couriers are often only marginally affected by the presence of smaller rifts. Larger rift regions have a greater significance, requiring lengthy detours or complex refueling operations or creating bottlenecks that even the longest range vessels are forced to travel through.

World Listing[edit]

Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within the Glimmerdrift Reaches is available.

  • The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
  • Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
  • Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
  • Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.

Importance[edit]

A chart is provided showing importance as green circles centered on a world, with larger circles indicating greater importance and overlapping circles giving an overview of a region's economic significance. While importance is largely a measure of raw economic power, other influencing factors include starport quality, political significance, a high planetary habitability rating, or even the local culture.

Importance also gives a good indication of the sphere of influence that individual worlds exert.

Trade Routes[edit]

Trade Routes
Jump-2 Accessibility

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the clusters and traces of the sector, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds. Jump-2 and Jump-3 feeder routes work their ways around the rifts and voids that dot the region, linking the various clusters and traces.

Mains[edit]

Main is an astrographic term for groups of 50 or more systems that are accessible by jump-1-capable starships.

Mains are highlighted in green: no mains lie within the sector.

Clusters[edit]

Cluster is a broad astrographic term for groups of between 10 and 50 systems that are accessible by jump-1-capable starships.

Clusters are highlighted in tan: thirteen clusters lie wholly or partially within the sector.

Traces[edit]

Trace is an astrographic term for groups of between 5 and 10 systems that are accessible by jump-1-capable starships.

Traces are highlighted in brown: fifteen trace-sized clusters of worlds lie wholly or partially within the sector. The Larshi Cluster lies adjacent to the coreward-trailing border, while two very small but relatively important groups of worlds, the Nugka Hook and the Sarkam Quad, are not depicted.

Jump Bridges[edit]

Jump Bridges are locations within empty hexes that contain caches of fuel and supplies. They allow lower jump rating vessels to bridge gaps between distant worlds by providing a halfway point. The hexes they lie within are vast, and without exact coordinates to jump to within it a vessel could end up with empty tanks in empty wilderness, perhaps as much as a light-year away from any hope of rescue. Where they do exist, Jump Bridges are heavily guarded and access is not generally granted to those without the correct credentials.

  • No commercial jump bridges are known to currently exist within the sector.
  • It has long been rumored that the Imperium, Imperial megacorporations, or other interests may maintain covert jump bridge facilities at strategically important points, but no reliable proof of this has ever been provided.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

This sector has a long record of sophont civilization although little of it appears to be connected to the Ancients. However, many other civilizations have left considerable ruins, artifacts, and other remnants of prior peoples. Treasure hunters are known to flock to the area in search of hidden treasures. Several of the older sophont species in the region tell tales of secret caches of starships, technology, and other valuables hidden away in the nebulae and unexplored corners of the sector.

Regional Chart

Despite the presence of a large number of squabbling pocket empires, the area has achieved an unexpected level of peace and prosperity. Local customs and traditions confine combat to largely ritualized forms sparing local populations from the worst ravages of war. Many fear that as the K’kree expand spinward, they will disrupt this fragile peace. While pirates and corsairs are not uncommon in the region, most trade convoys travel under heavy escort and a major convoy has not been lost in many decades.

Polity Listing: 1105[edit]

The following polities can be found within this sector:

The Imperium maintains a 'zone of interest' along the sector fringe and regularly sends ships to trade with or show the flag at worlds within 3-4 parsecs of the formal border. There is some friction from time to time, but for the most part the worlds and states close to the Imperial border are accustomed to their status as either clients or independent worlds. Understandings have been developed.
