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 Cluster, a line of worlds leading to spinward-trailing along the rimward edge of the Rift.

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