Security & Defense[edit]
The worlds of the region are patrolled by the Imperial Navy. It defends Imperial territory and interests, suppresses piracy, and ensures trade and commerce.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Named for the Stenardee system, the Cluster is part of the Geonee Core. It was explored by the Geonee soon after they acquired jump technology.
The region is also known as the Lagna Cluster, a name with Imperial origins. Imperial authorities often deliberately use the name Lagna over the Geonee-preferred Stenardee.
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Cluster, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
Demographics[edit]
Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) are found within this Cluster:
- Humaniti (Human races)
- Geonee (Minor Human Race): the majority demographic across the Cluster. There are many significant population centers.
- Mixed heritage (Major Race): a few, spread relatively thinly across the Cluster.
- Solomani (Major Race): a few genetically distinct individuals and communities.
- Vilani (Major Race): a few genetically distinct individuals and communities.
- Non-Humans
- Chirpers (Minor Race): where there are (married) Geonee, there are Chirpers.
- Llyrnians (Minor Race): troglodytic, naturally armored trilateral sophonts usually in the employ of Geonee interests.
Linguistic Topography[edit]
The most commonly heard languages are:
- Irkonee, the primary language of the Geonee.
- Oynprith, a ceremonial and ritualistic language apparently universal among Chirper communities.
Other occasionally heard languages include:
- Anglic, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
- Native Llyrnian languages.
- Vilani, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
