Subsector Summary: 1105

Riftdeep, subsector B of Reaver's Deep, contains 12 worlds with an estimated combined population of 8 billion, a per capita income of Cr4,974, and a total economy of BCr44,305. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr1 through 8 starports (0 Class A, 0 Class B, 6 Class C, 2 Class D) employing 315 people. Driving this interstellar trade are four Agricultural (Ag) worlds, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and one Industrial (In) world. The average technology level is 5 (with most between 2 and 8). The highest technology level is 9 at Dirk (Reaver's Deep 1109), Storm (Reaver's Deep 1404), and Lise (Reaver's Deep 1607).

Riftdeep, subsector B of Reaver's Deep, contains 18 stars and 119 identified planets; seven monostellar systems, four binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 7 of the 12 systems (58%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, one Desert (De) world, one Garden (Ga) world, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, one Poor (Po) world, one Vacuum (Va) world, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Riftdeep has an estimated population of 8 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, one Moderate population (Ph) world, six Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, one Low population (Lo) world, and three Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Storm (Reaver's Deep 1404). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups including one native sophont.

2 identified sophont populations in Riftdeep
H'Oskhikhil of Storm (Reaver's Deep 1404): 8 billion on their homeworld. Humaniti of Terra (Solomani Rim 1827): 906 million on nine worlds.

Non-Aligned, Human-dominated

There are nine Non-Aligned Human-dominated worlds in Riftdeep with an estimated combined population of 8 billion.
