Jump map from Travellermap.com

Sufren is a high-population, pre-rich garden world with a billion or more sophonts in population size, a near-ideal utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, and still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• This world contains an archaeological site with suspected high-tech remnants of the now-vanished Ancients precursor race.
• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• This a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Sufren Subsector of Diaspora Sector in the Domain of Sol.
• This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• A little over 90% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.
• A little under 10% of the population is composed of Orca.
• A significant population of Dolphins exists on this world.

Point of Interest: Dolphins & Orca

It is also home to a large population (over two million) of Orcinus orca sapiens, intelligent orcas produced by an off shoot of the same Terran program that resulted in the more well-known intelligent dolphins. These huge creatures were relocated to Sufren after funding was terminated for the program on Terra. They share Sufren's seas with a population of Tursiops truncatus galactus.

History & Background

Sufren is high population Imperial world located in Sufren Subsector of Diaspora Sector. Sufren is the subsector capital, a major industrial hub, a garden-world, and considered by many to be the jewel of the sector. Sufren features a fairly well-preserved Ancients site.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Sufren, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of four members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
• It holds the estate of an Imperial baronet.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial count.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial subsector duke.

History-Era: Rebellion

Sufren’s extensive government naval yard continues to produce the planet’s own military starships; only commercial hulls are produced offworld. That may not be the case much longer; local businesses are working to upgrade the commercial starport to an A class facility.

• However, since the Umorphutwyo (Diaspora 1816) incidents of the mid-1120s, access to the Ancients site has become difficult; Visitors must submit to background checks and personal interviews. The reason for these added precautions is not known, but rumors suggest that the Intelligence Division of Sufren's Planetary Navy has begun classified research at the site.
