• It is an astrographic feature and a trade route.
• It is part of The Network, the name given to important local Mains and trade routes.

Description / Specifications

The Vilani Run is a group of worlds that have been settled for millennia.

• The Run has 58 member systems. Thousands of years ago, it was a route Vilani pioneers and traders used to spread to rimward, giving it its name.

• Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in green.

Internal Routes

The Run covers parts of Triton, Lagaar, Khipge and Epshu subsectors within Zarushagar Sector and extends into Bolivar and Argi subsectors in Dagudashaag Sector.

• At the spinward-coreward end of the Run, Cobija serves as the connector world to the Strela Cluster region of the Gushemege Main, via Bolivar.
• At the coreward-trailing end of the main Rruekhsik acts as a connector world to Nimluin, within the Nimluin Cluster. The Nimluin Cluster in turn acts as a bridge to the Dagudashaag Main.
• At the rimward-trailing end of the run Frey and Teredore connect to Citenic on the Greater Massilia Main.
