== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
[[File:Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg|right]]
High cargo capacity, [[Jump Drive|low jump rating]] vessels move along the [[Main|cluster]], carrying large amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds. [[Jump Drive|Jump-2]] and [[Jump Drive|Jump-3]] feeder routes work their ways around the [[Rift|rifts and voids]] that dot [[Aldebaran Sector|the region]], linking the various [[Main|clusters and traces]].

The Freeman Seven is particularly known for its tribal settlements, including ethnic groups from the American, African, and Middle Eastern regions of [[Terra]]. It includes a substantial community of [[Dolphin]]s, who have a similar "tribal" status to other groups.

[[Solomani Security]] keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the [[Solomani Confederation|Confederation]] and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone ''could'' be a [[Solomani Security|SolSec]] informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but many see it as an act of duty to help protect the [[Solomani Confederation|Solomani state]] and its interests.
* [[Winston Democracy|Democracy agents]] closely monitor [[SolSec]] activity and even act to counter its moves, if necessary.
