Theta Eridani Subsector is subsector D of Neworld Sector.
- It lies within the Solomani Confederation.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Theta Eridani Subsector:
Astrographic Features[edit]
The subsector is a generally unremarkable frontier area lying within the Solomani Confederation.
- It is a low stellar density region.
- The brightest star is Theta1 Eridani, the blue-white giant primary of the Acamar system.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Theta Eridani Subsector, right:
- The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
- The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.
Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.
- Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
- Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.
Rift Regions[edit]
The subsector contains one major rift region: the Eridani Void.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic and commercial concept based on Jump Drive performance.
- Most commercial vessels typically use Jump Drives capable of Jump-3 or less.
- Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
- Rifts represent a considerable obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.
Economic Astrography[edit]
Trade Routes[edit]
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the clusters and traces of the region, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds. Jump-2 and Jump-3 feeder routes work their ways around the rifts and voids that dot the region, linking the various clusters and traces.
Clusters[edit]
No significant clusters lie within the region.
Corporations[edit]
Corporations and organizations known to be active within the subsector include:
- ConTech, a corporation specializing in life sciences, particularly large-scale bio-terraforming projects, medicine, and cloning.
- Guardian Military Systems, a large corporation involved in defense and armaments manufacture, with its core area of operations within Aldebaran Sector.
- Layaefui, an Aslan corporation that specializes in exploration, scouting, and surveying.
- Orion Metallurgy Corporation (OMC), a Solomani organization engaged in resource exploration, extraction, and processing throughout the region.
- Panstellar, a major Solomani transport and logistics corporation.
- Probable Technologies, a scientific research organization involved with academia and heavy industry. It works extensively with the Confederation military.
- Rising Phoenix News Service (RPNS), the premier news and media organization within the Solomani Sphere. It has a strong pro-Confederation bias.
- Star Patterns Trading, a Hiver corporation involved in transport and logistics. It maintains good relations with both the Solomani Confederation and the Imperium.
- Transstar, a Solomani megacorporation specializing in transport and logistics. It operates across 13 sectors, represented by the 13 stars in its logo.
- ZeeCorp, a corporation with interests in manufacturing active throughout the Solomani Confederation. It is a major producer of robots.
Goods[edit]
Notable local commodities include:
- (none currently listed)
Security & Defense[edit]
The worlds of the subsector are patrolled by the Solomani Navy. It defends Confederation territory, protects Confederation interests, suppresses piracy, and ensures interstellar trade and commerce.
- Confederation vessels may demand customs inspections.
- Some systems are defended by local naval forces.
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that lie within Theta Eridani Subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
Subsector Summary: 1105[edit]
Theta Eridani, subsector D of Neworld, contains nine worlds with an estimated combined population of 353 million, a per capita income of Cr4,175, and a total economy of BCr1,474. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr23 through 7 starports (2 Class A, 2 Class B, 3 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 4,455 people. Driving this interstellar trade are two Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, three Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, one Pre-Industrial (Pi) world, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Theta Eridani maintain two Naval bases and two Military bases. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 5 and 11). The highest technology level is 12 at Cerealia (Neworld 2502).
Theta Eridani, subsector D of Neworld, contains 14 stars and 105 identified planets; four monostellar systems, five binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 8 of the nine systems (88%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, no Desert (De) worlds, three Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, no Poor (Po) worlds, two Vacuum (Va) worlds, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.
Theta Eridani has an estimated population of 353 million distributed across no High population (Hi) worlds, two Moderate population (Ph) worlds, three Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, two Low population (Lo) worlds, and one Barren (Ba) world. The highest population worlds are Indus (Neworld 3009) and Cerealia (Neworld 2502). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.

Solomani Confederation[edit]
The Solomani Confederation has jurisdiction over five worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of 350 million, a per capita income of Cr4,182, and a total economy of BCr1,464. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr21 through 5 starports (1 Class A, 2 Class B, 2 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 4,050 people. Driving this interstellar trade are one Agricultural (Ag) world, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, two Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, one Pre-Industrial (Pi) world, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in the Solomani Confederation maintain two Naval bases and two Military bases within the subsector. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 8 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Cerealia (Neworld 2502).
The Solomani Confederation has an estimated population of 350 million within the subsector, distributed across no High population (Hi) worlds, two Moderate population (Ph) worlds, one Non-industrial (Ni) world, one Low population (Lo) world, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Indus (Neworld 3009) and Cerealia (Neworld 2502). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.
- The Solomani Confederation subsector capital of Theta Eridani is Cerealia (Neworld 2502).
