The New Islands Subsector lies in a pocket of stars deep within the Reft Sector. Colonized in the second wave of settlement after the European Space Agency Long-range Colony Mission arrived in this sector of the Great Rift, it now boasts four major worlds with substantial populations. The most populous is Esperanza, far to the edge of the cluster, followed by New Colchis, Joyeuse, and Serendip Belt.

Esperanza: Ruled by a well-entrenched non-charismatic dictatorship which enforces an oppressive political structure. Its tentacles extend to two vassal worlds: Wellington and St. Hilaire.

The Batwings inhabiting this world were eradicated by the colonists within 200 years of the colonists arrival, in a process which Esperanzan historians are strangely reluctant to discuss. They have subsequently been identified as Droyne.

Herzenlust: Settled from Neubayern during the sublight era. Arrivals from New Colchis took political control away from the residents.

New Colchis: A tertiary world colonized from Colchis, which was colonized from new Home, New Colchis is an industrial trade center with a colony at Herzenlust. Its government is headed by a charismatic dictator. Joyeuse: Straddling the divider between the New and Old Islands, Joeuse is well-developed world with a government similar to that of Esperanza. It has a colony at Quichotte.

Orphee: The Orpheides, a potentially intelligent race, are a herbi- vorous race confined to their world of origin. They have achieved only rudimentary development, although their culture at the TL has interested academics throughout the Clusters. It is expected that the Orpheides, with suitable protection from interference, can achieve a technological civilization within a few millennia.

Although it has a small human academic community, a convention between all the Cluster worlds interdicted Orphee to all trade and naval traffic. Occasional ships carry supplies and researchers call on the system occasionally.

Serendip Belt: The asteroid belt at Serendip is a rich storehouse of mineral wealth; it is inhabited by independent merchants and miners under a feudal technocracy form of government. The center of government is still the C-Jammer. Serendip conquered nearby Gloire for an agricultural colony.

Zuflucht was settled by refugees from a civil war on Topas.

Era: Milieu 1116
