Glisten, subsector O of Spinward Marches, contains 29 worlds with an estimated combined population of 22 billion. The population consists primarily of 4 sophont groups including one native sophont; the Crawni of Craw. The governments in Glisten maintain six Scout bases and five Naval bases. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 5 and 11). The highest technology level is 15 at Glisten (Spinward Marches 2036). Glisten contains 41 stars and 316 identified planets; 17 monostellar systems and 12 binary systems. 21 of the 29 systems (72%) have native gas giants.[1]
Glisten lies entirely within the Imperium, for many years a backwater lying on an unimportant frontier, receiving little attention. X-boats bound for Imperial holdings in Pax Rulin (rimward, towards the Great Rift) ran through Glisten itself but otherwise there was little need to develop the region. The opening of District 268 for Imperial expansion in 940 brought greater importance to Glisten and has stimulated investment.[2]
Many of the worlds in the subsector lie on the Spinward Main, although the Glisten Arm is a lightly travelled part of the main. It terminates at Bendor, however a jump-2 capable ship can reach any world in the subsector and proceed beyond into Trin’s Veil and finally back to Mora. The subsector is the responsibility of the 100th Fleet, with its headquarters at Glisten itself. The fleet is understrength and contains mostly small or obsolescent vessels, its strength further diluted by the need to patrol District 268 and maintain a detachment there. The Sector Fleet also has a light presence in the subsector; the region is a long way from likely combat zones in a war with the Zhodani.[2]
