Sylean Main

A major astrographical feature, within Charted Space. The Sylean Main is one of the oldest and most used mains, and was a dominant factor in the rise of the Third Imperium.

• Many also refer to it as the Core Main.

Description / Specifications

The Sylean Main. Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in green. (Chart sourced from Traveller Map).

The branch that comes out of Bunkeria Subsector and Cadion Subsector from Core, into Laraa Subsector and Lode Subsector, is known as the Laraa Main or the Kadushi Cluster. From there it loops back into Massilia Sector across the Arar Subsector and Kerr Subsector.

The Urak-Talamein Arm is another notable branch.

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

History & Background / Dossier

This ancient main long predates the Third Imperium. It is uncertain how far back it goes, but most Imperial historians believe that its use can be traced to at least Ziru Sirka times. It flourished after the technological decline that followed the fall of the Rule of Man and the onset of the Long Night.

Commercial Data

The following economic and commercial data has been determined:

Savvy traders contend that any shortcomings the Sylean Main might have are more than made up for by the sheer quantity of development opportunities. While the Imperium seeks to avoid becoming directly involved in the affairs of its worlds, having the trade main upon which Capital sits be provincial and underdeveloped is an embarrassment. There are those among the nobility and megacorporate community who seek to change that.

Corporations

The following corporations operate along this main:

• Ling Standard Products, an Imperial megacorporation engaged in widescale resource extraction and processing.
• Makhidkarun, an Imperial megacorporation specializing in communications and entertainment.
• Naasirka, an Imperial megacorporation that specializes in electronics and robotics.
• Sharurshid, an Imperial megacorporation specializing in finance and commerce.
• Tukera Lines, an Imperial megacorporation specializing in transport and logistics.

Goods

Notable commodities traded along the main include the following:

• Meat of the Mimsliy beast, bulk shipments. This meat is almost a balanced diet on its own, requiring only a small number of additives to prevent deficiency disease in humans.
