History & Background (Dossier)

The Liasdi Main is a major trade route along the rimward worlds of the sector.

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

Coremen and Rimmers

The Humans that inhabit the main are culturally divided, with the Coremen and the Rimmers regarding each other with distain. The Coremen inhabit the April Cluster, the Lenox Run, and the Gomi Arm (the coreward regions of the Main) and regard the Rimmers as effete and workshy. The Rimmers claim the Boswach Spur, the Liasdi Arm, the Ishag Arm, and the Mavic Cluster as their own (the rimward and trailing parts of the Main) and see the Coremen as self-pitying habitual complainers. The "border" between the two regions is considered to be the Hogun's World system. The Anglic spoken in each region has a distinct accent.

• The Darmine are considered neither Coremen nor Rimmers. Even if they were, they're above such petty things.

Demographics

Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this trade route:

• Humaniti (Human races)
  • Darmine (Minor Human Race): Widely spread across the Main.
  • Mixed heritage (Major Race): Widely spread across the Main.
  • Solomani (Major Race): Many genetically distinct individuals and communities.
  • Vilani (Major Race): Many genetically distinct individuals and communities.

• Non-Human Races
  • Chinmaya of Glomar (Minor Race): Found in small numbers across the Main.
  • Chirpers of Burke (Minor Race): Restricted to their adopted world.
  • Droyne of Eskayloyt (Major Race): Found in small numbers across the Main.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

• Anglic, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
• Native Chinmaya languages.
• Kadli, the primary language of the Darmine.
• Oynprith, a ceremonial and ritualistic language, apparently universal among Chirper communities.
• Vilani, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.

The Darmine Corporate

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

The Darmine Corporate was a historical sphere of influence that was dominated by the Darmine.

Much of the Corporate's influence followed the astrography of the Liasdi Main. The core worlds consist of Ishag, the Darmine homeworld, and its surrounding colonies and outposts, which were first explored and settled before the establishment of the Vilani Ziru Sirka.

A simple chart showing those worlds variously considered under the influence or control of the Darmine Corporate and the Dishaan Hegemony.

• Note that the chart does not depict historical borders, instead indicating worlds that were settled by (or consider themselves to be part of) one of the two cultures.

• Worlds with significant Darmine populations are marked with a red dot.
• Worlds with significant non-Human sophont populations are marked with a yellow dot.
