Aramis, subsector D of Spinward Marches, contains 26 worlds with an estimated combined population of 32 billion. The population consists primarily of 4 sophont groups including two native sophonts; the Llellewyloly of Junidy and the Ebokinof Yebab. The governments in Aramis maintain four Naval bases, three Scout bases, and one Way station. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 6 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Feneteman (Spinward Marches 3104). Aramis contains 35 stars and 287 identified planets; 17 monostellar systems and nine binary systems. 19 of the 26 systems (73%) have native gas giants.[1]
The Aramis subsector lies at the coreward edge of the Marches. To trailing is the Pretoria Subsector in Deneb, Imperial territory, but coreward is the Vargr Extents. Most Vargr incursions in the four Frontier Wars, and most corsair raids today, come through this subsector. As a result, the 214th Fleet, tasked with protection of Aramis, attempts to control access to the rest of the sector.[2]
This activity is mainly concentrated on the rimward end of the subsector. The fleet is based out of Paya, Natoko and L’Oeul d’Dieu, clearly demonstrating the Navy’s lack of interest in the relatively unimportant worlds further coreward. Navy ships do sweep the more coreward systems but not anything like as frequently as the rimward ones.[2]
Critics of the Imperial system of government like to point out that the Marquis of Aramis is a member of the Tukera family and Tukera is one of the main Imperial megacorporations. They suggest that it is not coincidence that Aramis itself has a naval base and is flanked by two others. Imperial Navy officials (and the office of the Marquis of Aramis) dismiss this as a typical example of paranoid anti-establishment ranting.[2]
Aramis Subsector is a major agricultural area often referred to as the "breadbasket of the Vargr", because of the amount of the sector’s produce that is transported to the Vargr Extents. The Imperium has established several trading stations along the borders to encourage this commerce.[3]
Four worlds in the subsector are Amber Zoned; Zila, Rugbird, Towers and Reacher, and there are Red Zones in place at Corfu, Zykoca and Lewis. As usual, the reasons for the Red Zones are not publicly available.[4]
