Voudzeur Subsector is Subsector N of Provence Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is part of the Vargr Extents.
Description / Specifications
Voudzeur Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by Vargr.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Voudzeur Subsector:
- The subsector is an average stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the yellow bright giant primary of the Urueng system.
- The Dzarrgh Run passes through the subsector.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Voudzeur Subsector.
- The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
- The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.
- Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
- Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.
The Dzarrgh Run
The spinward-rimward worlds of the subsector are members of the Dzarrgh Run, a trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector. It is a small Main.
- It has 28 member systems.
- A few of its coreward worlds lie within the Irrgh Manifest, a Vargr polity.
- Its central worlds run through Balkanized Space and the Imperium.
- Some of its spinward worlds are members of the Dzarrgh Federate, a Vargr polity.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- Worlds lying on the Run are highlighted in tan.
New Vland Cluster
A few rimward worlds of the subsector are members of the New Vland Cluster, a small trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector.
- It has eight member systems.
- Its coreward worlds are controlled by the Glory of Taarskoerzn.
- Its rimward worlds lie in the strip of Balkanized Space between the Vargr Extents and the Imperium.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- Worlds lying within the New Vland Cluster are highlighted in gray.
- Worlds lying on the Ushamla Main are highlighted in tan.
Subsector Summary
Voudzeur, subsector N of Provence, contains 23 worlds with an estimated combined population of 23 billion, a per capita income of Cr6,072, and a total economy of BCr140,636. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr951 through 23 starports (6 Class A, 10 Class B, 7 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 206,235 people. Driving this interstellar trade are one Agricultural (Ag) world, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, two Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, two Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Voudzeur maintain seven Naval bases and five Corsair bases. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 7 and 11). The highest technology level is 14 at Voudzeur (Provence 1039).
Voudzeur, subsector N of Provence, contains 28 stars and 252 identified planets; 18 monostellar systems, five binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 23 of the 23 systems (100%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, one Desert (De) world, three Garden (Ga) worlds, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, seven Poor (Po) worlds, one Vacuum (Va) world, and three Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.
Voudzeur has an estimated population of 23 billion distributed across four High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 11 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, five Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Voudzeur (Provence 1039). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.

Irrgh Manifest
The Irrgh Manifest has jurisdiction over 17 worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of 18 billion, a per capita income of Cr6,745, and a total economy of BCr122,254. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr904 through 17 starports (4 Class A, 7 Class B, 6 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 197,335 people. Driving this interstellar trade are no Agricultural (Ag) worlds, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, two Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in the Irrgh Manifest maintain six Naval bases and four Corsair bases within the subsector. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 7 and 12). The highest technology level is 14 at Voudzeur (Provence 1039).
The Irrgh Manifest has an estimated population of 18 billion within the subsector, distributed across three High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, eight Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, four Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Voudzeur (Provence 1039). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.
- The capital of the Irrgh Manifest is Igunfaksa (Provence 1431).
Glory of Taarskoerzn
The Glory of Taarskoerzn has jurisdiction over six worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of 5 billion, a per capita income of Cr3,650, and a total economy of BCr18,382. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr46 through 6 starports (2 Class A, 3 Class B, 1 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 8,900 people. Driving this interstellar trade are one Agricultural (Ag) world, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in the Glory of Taarskoerzn maintain one Corsair base and one Naval base within the subsector. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 6 and 10).

Major Historical Events Timeline
Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:
- ca -250,000: The Ancients were active within the sector, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
- -9235: the Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
- -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
- -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
- -2404 to -2215: the human Interstellar Wars rage far to rimward. The region becomes increasingly neglected.
