The Borderland, subsector L of Trojan Reach, contains 15 worlds with an estimated combined population of 90 billion, a per capita income of Cr2,920, and a total economy of BCr264,105. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr137 through 13 starports (5 Class A, 7 Class B, 1 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 30,870 people. Driving this interstellar trade are four Agricultural (Ag) worlds, two Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, one Pre-Industrial (Pi) world, two Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 5 and 11). The highest technology level is 14 at Tech-World (Trojan Reach 2624).

The Borderland, subsector L of Trojan Reach, contains 21 stars and 163 identified planets; ten monostellar systems, four binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 13 of the 15 systems (86%) have native gas giants.
