Description (Specifications)

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

The Sirim Loop is a trade route running along the edge of the Great Rift in the coreward half of Verge Sector.

It consists of a chain of 38 star systems, each lying 1 parsec from its neighbour.

A simple chart of the Loop is shown, right:

• Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in tan.
• Sirim, its namesake world, is marked in red.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Sirim Loop has played an important role in the development of the spinward edge of Imperial territory within Verge Sector.

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along it, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

Nuzuu Jump Bridge

There is rumored to be a deep space fuel cache located within empty hex 2607 of Nuzuu Subsector, allowing jump-1 vessels to cross between the Nuzuu Main and the Sirim Loop.

Many believe this to be a myth, an Old Spacer's Tale.

The stories insist that it consists of a central array of vast storage tanks, intertwined with ancillary refineries, pumping gear, docking facilities, control areas, and accommodations. It is refilled, the tales go, by tanker vessels that loop between the outer gas giant of the Aagun system and the facility. The Jump Bridge supposedly has reaction drive tugs to move visiting vessels to fuelling points and is surrounded by a sphere of sensor and navigation buoys out to approximately 50 AU.

It is most commonly believed to be a facility operated by one or more corporations and kept secret to give them an immense advantage over their commercial rivals.

The supposed location of the bridge is shown, right:

• The Sirim Loop lies to spinward: Sirim, its namesake world, is marked in green.
• The Nuzuu Main lies to trailing: Tripolis, the sector capital, is marked in red.
• The supposed location of the jump bridge is marked by a red target.

The immediate environs of the Jump Bridge are shown, right:

If it does exist, the chances of a vessel blindly jumping into hex 2607 and stumbling across it are miniscule. A hex is vast, many light years across, and any signals or emissions produced by the facility would be indistinguishable from background noise beyond a few hundred AU. Any vessel accessing the Jump Bridge would need exact jump coordinates and some kind of security clearance.
