Subsector Summary

Epshu, subsector G of Zarushagar, contains 36 worlds with an estimated combined population of 9 billion, a per capita income of Cr4,249, and a total economy of BCr41,810. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr600 through 34 starports (9 Class A, 20 Class B, 3 Class C, 2 Class D) employing 105,720 people. Driving this interstellar trade are four Agricultural (Ag) worlds, six Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, one Pre-Industrial (Pi) world, two Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Epshu maintain nine Naval bases, three Scout bases, and one Naval depot. The average technology level is 11 (with most between 9 and 13). The highest technology level is 14 at Angmar (Zarushagar 2213), Sirgol (Zarushagar 2320), and Komo Niva (Zarushagar 2412).

Epshu, subsector G of Zarushagar, contains 48 stars and 374 identified planets; 25 monostellar systems, ten binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 33 of the 36 systems (91%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, one Desert (De) world, three Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, six Poor (Po) worlds, ten Vacuum (Va) worlds, and three Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Epshu has an estimated population of 9 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, two Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 17 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, 12 Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Epshu (Zarushagar 2113). The population consists primarily of 3 sophont groups.
