Trin's Veil Subsector is Subsector P of the Spinward Marches.

• It is part of the Imperial Domain of Deneb.

Physical Astrography

The subsector takes its name from the nighttime view on Trin -- a veil of highly reflective debris, the fragments of a shattered moon, which makes much of the evening and early morning on Trin a bright twilight.

Astrographic Features

The following astrographic data has been determined regarding Trin's Veil Subsector:

• The subsector is an average stellar density region.
• The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Raydrad system.

Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Trin's Veil Subsector.

• 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.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

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.

World Listing

Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Trin's Veil Subsector is available.

• The primary source material is the T5SS data and Traveller Map.
• Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
• Older, incorrect, or outdated data is retained for reference.

AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:

Mains Clusters & Traces

Chart: Mains & Clusters

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the clusters and traces of the sector, 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

Cluster is a broad astrographic term for groups of between 10 and 50 systems that are accessible by jump-1-capable starships.

Clusters are highlighted in tan: two clusters lie wholly or partially within the subsector.

• Dodds Cluster
• Katarulu Cluster

Traces

Trace is an astrographic term for groups of between 5 and 10 systems that are accessible by jump-1-capable starships.

Traces are highlighted in brown: one trace-sized cluster of worlds lies partially within the subsector.

• Palique Cluster

Subsector Timeline

Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:

• circa -300,000: the Ancients are active within the sector, most notably transplanting humans from Terra onto Darrian.
• −5823: the Zhodani Consulate is established.
• -4045 to -2204: the Vilani Ziru Sirka controls vast territories.
• after -4045: a few Vilani dissidents fleeing the Ziru Sirka may have passed through the sector.
• -2404 to -2215: the Interstellar Wars. The young Terran Confederation battles against the ancient Ziru Sirka.
• -2400s: Terran explorers pass through the sector, heading generally to spinward and eventually founding settlements in the Theta Borealis region.
• -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man administers the former Ziru Sirka.
• -1776 to 0: the Rule of Man collapses. Charted Space endures the Long Night.
• -1511: the Itzin Fleet, a group of far-flung Terran traders, contact the Daryens of Darrian. Over the next few centuries Daryen technology advances exponentially.
  • Colonists from the Fleet found settlements on a few other worlds within the region.
• -1270: Daryen exploration reaches 20 parsecs from Darrian itself.
• -1137: the Darrian Confederation is founded.
• -1118 to 380: the Aslan Border Wars.
• -924: the Maghiz – the primary star of the Darrian system destabilizes, creating a monumental Electromagnetic Pulse that hits worlds many parsecs away and destroys the now highly advanced Daryen civilization.
• circa -750: Gvegh Vargr from coreward launch sporadic raids into the sector.
• -399: Gram and a number of other worlds in the Sword Worlds Subsector are settled by Terrans fleeing a civil war in the Old Earth Union, in the Solomani Rim. They make their escape from Terra though Aslan Space.

The governments in Trin's Veil maintain eight Scout bases, three Naval bases, and one Way station. The average technology level is 7 (with most between 4 and 10). The highest technology level is 15 at Trin (Spinward Marches 3235).
