[[Category: Subsectors in position {{{position}}}]] Arcturus, subsector L of the Solomani Rim Sector, was settled by the Vilani during the First Imperium, and by the Solomani after the Ninth Interstellar War. The Arcturus subsector contains 20 worlds with a population of 24.5 billion. The highest population is 7 billion, at Kurland. The highest tech level is E at Scandia, Anenerkuk and Kurland. The subsector capital is at Jael.
The subsector has two worlds of unusual character: Cymbeline and Thorwald.
Cymbeline is a massive planet with a paradoxically thin atmosphere. Because of the world's high gravity, the breathable portion of the atmosphere is concentrated in low-lying areas at or near sea level. Much of the population lives in sub-sea level depressions. The air at higher elevations is too thin to support human life.
Thorwald is the home of an unusual plant-like life form: the Leyden Tree. Internal secretions form a metal central core for that acts like a lightning rod. When lightning strikes, the charge is deflected through a network of filaments to cellular capacitors which use the electricity to convert organic molecules from low to high energy forms as a supplement to photosynthesis. An electrical storm over a Leyden forest is a spectacular sight, although best viewed from a distance.
