Subsector P of Corridor Sector. The Sashrakusha Subsector is very much an Imperial heartland region, despite proximity to the Great Rift. It is one of the most secure parts of the Imperium, shielded from external threats by many parsecs of Imperial-controlled space in most directions and by the Rift. Much of the subsector is within the Lancian Cultural Region.

Subsector Summary: 1116

Sashrakusha, subsector P of Corridor, contains 45 worlds with an estimated combined population of 10 billion, a per capita income of Cr4,902, and a total economy of BCr50,424. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr1,472 through 38 starports (10 Class A, 9 Class B, 14 Class C, 5 Class D) employing 254,080 people. Driving this interstellar trade are six Agricultural (Ag) worlds, three Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, three Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, seven Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, four Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Sashrakusha maintain 12 Naval bases, ten Scout bases, and one Way station. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 6 and 12). The highest technology level is 15 at Sumeszu (Corridor 2632).

Sashrakusha, subsector P of Corridor, contains 64 stars and 470 identified planets; 27 monostellar systems, 17 binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 35 of the 45 systems (77%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, five Desert (De) worlds, two Garden (Ga) worlds, three Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, eight Poor (Po) worlds, six Vacuum (Va) worlds, and three Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Sashrakusha has an estimated population of 10 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, five Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 16 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, 15 Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Kanorb (Corridor 2733). The population consists primarily of 4 sophont groups including two native sophonts.

Driving this interstellar trade are six Agricultural (Ag) worlds, three Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, three Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, seven Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, four Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in the Third Imperium maintain 12 Naval bases, ten Scout bases, and one Way station within the subsector. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 6 and 12). The highest technology level is 15 at Sumeszu (Corridor 2632).

The Third Imperium has an estimated population of 10 billion within the subsector, distributed across one High population (Hi) world, five Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 16 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, 15 Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds.
