Named for the Stenardee system, the Cluster is part of the Geonee Core. It was explored by the Geonee soon after they acquired jump technology.

The region is also known as the Lagna Cluster, a name with Imperial origins. Imperial authorities often deliberately use the name Lagna over the Geonee-preferred Stenardee.

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

World Listing[edit]

Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that are members of the Stenardee Cluster is available.

  • The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
  • Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
  • Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.

AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
