Solomani Rim Sector/meta

Meta-History & Background: 2019-0513

Solomani Rim Sector was originally designed by John Harshman and first appeared in Classic Traveller Supplement 10: The Solomani Rim (GDW, 1982).

• However, the game map for the board game Imperium encompasses parts of Sol, Dingir, Capella, and Gemini subsectors of the sector, and the astrography in Imperium was carried over into Supplement 10 with a few name changes (Alpha Centauri became Prometheus, Tau Ceti became Iilike, Epsilon Eridani became Shulimik, and Epsilon Indi became Meshan).
