Subsector Summary: 1105

Kursa, subsector H of Aldebaran, contains 17 worlds with an estimated combined population of 545 million, a per capita income of Cr1,598, and a total economy of BCr871. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr274 through 10 starports (3 Class A, 1 Class B, 3 Class C, 3 Class D) employing 40,865 people. Driving this interstellar trade are three Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, two Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, three Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Kursa maintain one Naval base and one Military base. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 6 and 10). The highest technology level is 13 at Nizar (Aldebaran 2615).

Kursa, subsector H of Aldebaran, contains 19 stars and 185 identified planets; 16 monostellar systems, no binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 16 of the 17 systems (94%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, no Desert (De) worlds, four Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, one Poor (Po) world, three Vacuum (Va) worlds, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Trade Routes

Three trade routes, the important Borethane Cluster and the minor Orizaba and Severn Clusters, lie within the region. High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along them, carrying large amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds.

Less profitable higher jump rating merchant vessels conduct trade and commerce among the region's outlying worlds.
