Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Matzen Sector.
- 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.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
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 subsector and far beyond.

Native Sophonts: 1105[edit]
Demographics: 1105[edit]
Estimated total population across the sector is c.240 billion sophonts
Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this area:
- Humaniti (Human Races)
- Vilani. Within the Matzen sector there are c.35 billion people who claim decent from the original Vilani settlers in the sector. These people live predominantly within the Vilani Protectorate and still maintain a lifestyle that Vilani within the Third Imperium would recognise. It should be noted though that Vilani in Matzen do differ as almost 10,000 years of evolution has occurred since the Vilani first found themselves stranded in an uncharted region of space.In so many ways the culture of the Matzen Vilani is different from that found within the Vilani who evolved in the Third Imperium.
- Minor Human Race. Like many other regions of the galaxy Matzen did not escape the tinkering of the Ancients. Humans originally from Sol were also transported here thousands of years ago. As a result other humans already populated the Matzen sector however they had not developed the jump drive when the Vilani first arrived but they did so at a later date. Across Matzen there are c.130 billion minor human race humans.
- Non-Human Races
- Aslan. The Aslan only arrived in the sector some 800 years ago, however they did arrive en masse and have rapidly expanded their influence in the sector. With c.54 billion Aslan in the sector they are a major racial faction, however, their strength in numbers is split across 3 seperate clan enterprises and as such this does weaken their "voice" somewhat. It should also be noted that many Aslan make their homes on non-aligned worlds forging their own way in this massively unexploited region of the galaxy.

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1105[edit]
| Year (Imperial) | Year (Matzen) | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| -9425 | -4910 | A Vilani sub-light deep exploration vessel, the Kuikza, leaves Vland in search of the ancient "Machine-Gods". The journey has been entirely funded by members of the nobility and religious orders that venerate the ancient "Machine Gods" that once lived upon Vland. The crew also consisted of hundreds of others with those same beliefs from various castes and professions. As one of the largest exploration vessels ever built by the Vilani it was generational in concept as its mission was expected to take decades. As such, families accompanied the crew. |
| -9415 | -4900 | The Kuikza has entered the region of space now known as Empty Void and encounters what the crew believe to be one of the ancient "Machine-Gods". This massive structure appears to be drifting through space alone in the dark. Communications with it prove ineffectual until it opens a vast gaping door that draws the Kuikza into its cavernous interior. The Kuikza enters and finds themselves adrift with no "Machine-God" in the vicinity. Even worse, the Kuikza crew is unable to establish a bearing on any stellar object and had actually transited almost instantaneously nearly 3000 parsecs Rimspinward from their starting location. |
| -9415 | -4900 | The Kuikza and its crew agree after extensive consultation with both their noble leaders and their religious scholars that the "Machine-Gods" are testing them and so they set out to map this new region of space and continue trying to make contact with them. |
| -9397 | -4882 | The Kuikza has mapped several systems in the region and its crew now has a second generation of both crew and family members on board. The ship however is dangerously overcrowded and despite best efforts is running low on food and other necessities. The captain, nobles, and religious leadership agree it's time for their mission to come to an end, and they locate a place to call home. This home was selected based upon its ability to support life and also able to provide resources, etc., for the colony to survive and also return to the stars at a later date. |
| -9396 | -4881 | After c.14 months of exploration The Kuikza goes into orbit above what is now called Alaamga (named after The Kuikza's first captain). It is from this planetary system that the Vilani Protectorate is established. |
| 1035 | 5557 | Tomon Trade Accords signed establishing the Tomon Trade Federation Polity. |
