Subsector L of Crucis Margin Sector.
Description[edit]
The subsector is noted for the high-population Droyne world of Tubroyllufotyusk. The local Humans, not understanding the nature of disparate Droyne societies, often mistakenly call their nation The Oytrip. (An oytrip is a general term for a Droyne community).
Part of the multi-system polity known as The Reach is found here. Officially the Turku-Ranua Guaranteed Trade Corridor, even its own people call it The Reach. All five of its worlds (three of them within this subsector) are self-governing, and contribute funds and forces to a central defense command. The Reach Conclave, with representatives from all five worlds in proportion to their economic importance, is based at the orbital cityport of Turkan Imal ("Home in Orbit" in an local dialect.)
Summary[edit]
No Return, subsector L of Crucis Margin, contains 27 worlds with an estimated combined population of 9 billion, a per capita income of Cr4,300, and a total economy of BCr39,945. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr574 through 25 starports (5 Class A, 5 Class B, 8 Class C, 7 Class D) employing 110,675 people. Driving this interstellar trade are five Agricultural (Ag) worlds, three Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, four Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, five Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, three Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in No Return maintain two Naval bases. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 6 and 10). The highest technology level is 13 at Tubroyllufotyusk (Crucis Margin 2623).
No Return, subsector L of Crucis Margin, contains 37 stars and 266 identified planets; 17 monostellar systems, ten binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 15 of the 27 systems (55%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, two Desert (De) worlds, two Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, five Poor (Po) worlds, one Vacuum (Va) world, and one Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) world.
No Return has an estimated population of 9 billion distributed across two High population (Hi) worlds, five Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 12 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, two Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Tubroyllufotyusk (Crucis Margin 2623) and Vaala (Crucis Margin 2630). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups.

These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr6 through 3 starports (1 Class A, 0 Class B, 1 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 3,745 people. Driving this interstellar trade are one Agricultural (Ag) world, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, two Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds.
The Reach has an estimated population of 40 million within this subsector, distributed across no High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, no Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, one Low population (Lo) world, and no Barren (Ba) worlds.
