History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Delphi Sector receives much coreward-rimward interstellar traffic, but little spinward-trailing commerce due to the presence of the Delphi Rift. Even with this great barrier, much traffic flows in through the Rimward Hub region of the Greater Delphi Cluster, a line of worlds leading to spinward-trailing along the rimward edge of the Rift. The Arm greatly profits from this trade.

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Arm, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
