Subsector G of Spica Sector.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Hiver (rimward) half of the subsector is notable for the influential world, Deru Nooq. This world's name means something akin to "Deru Sphere" or "Deru Globe". Deru is the charismatic dictator currently in charge here (government code A). The planet has become wealthy due to Deru's trade policies. Not only does Deru Nooq have an A-class starport, so do its colonies at Baren and Tsent. The almost frantic expansion of the planet's trade fleet is responsible for the wealth of these systems.
Deru is in competition with the influential Star Patterns Trading, which controls its own A-class starports at nearby systems (though outside Virginis Subsector), Star Harvest (Spica 2518) and Star Hub (Spica 1722).
Subsector Summary: 1116[edit]
Virginis, subsector G of Spica, contains 26 worlds with an estimated combined population of 8 billion, a per capita income of Cr4,162, and a total economy of BCr36,664. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr446 through 23 starports (4 Class A, 6 Class B, 13 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 65,030 people. Driving this interstellar trade are three Agricultural (Ag) worlds, three Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, two Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, two Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Virginis maintain one Hiver Embassy. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 7 and 11). The highest technology level is 13 at Adamantium (Spica 2113).
Virginis, subsector G of Spica, contains 40 stars and 262 identified planets; 13 monostellar systems, 12 binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 16 of the 26 systems (61%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, five Desert (De) worlds, one Garden (Ga) world, four Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, eight Poor (Po) worlds, three Vacuum (Va) worlds, and one Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) world.
Virginis has an estimated population of 8 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, four Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 11 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, eight Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Cache (Spica 2314). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups.
