Subsector D of Spinward Marches Sector.
The Aramis Subsector lies coreward of the major Imperial trade routes, studded with few worlds of use to the mainstream of trade and commerce; the major X-Boat links also pass this subsector by.
The subsector is a major agricultural producer. The major market for this production, however, is outside the Imperium. Vargr nations to coreward look upon the variety and quality of foodstuffs produced locally as highly desirable luxury goods. To this end, the Imperial Scout Service maintains several isolated bases for contact with Vargr trading missions.

Politics and Diplomacy : Milieu 1116
The Aramis Subsector is defended by 214th Fleet. The fleet's squadrons are based in Aramis, Paya, Natoko, and L'Ouel d'Dieu. The coreward half of the subsector is patrolled by smaller ships suitable for deterring Vargr corsairs.
Imperial Politics
Aramis Subsector is not a duchy itself but is split between three neighboring duchies.
The Towers Cluster is administered by the Duchess of Pretoria, the Aramis Trace by the Duke of Rhylanor, and the Scatters by the Duke of Regina.
The Marquis of Aramis is married to a member of the Tukera family, of Tukera Lines fame.
Demographics
Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this subsector:
- Humaniti (Human races)
World Listing
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Aramis Subsector 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:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
Subsector Timeline
Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:
- circa -300,000: the Ancients are active within the sector, most notably transplanting humans from Terra onto Darrian.
- −5823: the Zhodani Consulate is established.
- -4045 to -2204: the Vilani Ziru Sirka controls vast territories.
- after -4045: a few Vilani dissidents fleeing the Ziru Sirka may have passed through the sector.
- -2404 to -2215: the Interstellar Wars. The young Terran Confederation battles against the ancient Ziru Sirka.
- -2400s: Terran explorers pass through the sector, heading generally to spinward and eventually founding settlements in the Theta Borealis region.
- -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man administers the former Ziru Sirka.
- -1776 to 0: the Rule of Man collapses. Charted Space endures the Long Night.
- -1511: the Itzin Fleet, a group of far-flung Terran traders, contact the Daryens of Darrian. Over the next few centuries Daryen technology advances exponentially.
- Colonists from the Fleet found settlements on a few other worlds within the region.
- -1270: Daryen exploration reaches 20 parsecs from Darrian itself.
- -1137: the Darrian Confederation is founded.
- -1118 to 380: the Aslan Border Wars.
- -924: the Maghiz – the primary star of the Darrian system destabilizes, creating a monumental Electromagnetic Pulse that hits worlds many parsecs away and destroys the now highly advanced Daryen civilization.
- circa -750: Gvegh Vargr from coreward launch sporadic raids into the sector.
- -399: Gram and a number of other worlds in the Sword Worlds Subsector are settled by Terrans fleeing a civil war in the Old Earth Union, in the Solomani Rim. They make their escape from Terra though Aslan Space.
- -200: contact between the Old Earth Union and the Terran settlements in the Sword Worlds Subsector is cut. The long and treacherous route through Aslan Space was made more difficult due to the ongoing Border Wars and the frequent political and territorial changes they caused.
- -187: the Zhodani establish contact with Daryens.
- -186: the Sacnoth Dominate, the first Sword Worlds' government forms.
- The Year 0: the Third Imperium is founded, ending the Long Night.
- 60: Imperial development within the Marches begins in earnest with the settlement of Mora. The Imperial frontier gradually expands into the sector.
- 73: Imperial traders exploring to spinward establish formal contact with the Sword Worlds.
- 75: Regina is settled. A bubble of Imperial territory grows around it.
- before 100: increasing numbers of Vargr settle the relatively empty regions to coreward.
- 148: the IISS make formal contact with Daryens.
- 300: Pretoria, in Deneb Sector, is settled by the Imperium and eventually becomes the administrative center for the Aramis Trace in the Spinward Marches.
- 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the subsector.
- 400s: the Zhodani begin settlement within the Marches. They know it as Tloql Sector.
- 589-604: First Frontier War.
- 604-622: the Imperial Civil War.
- 615-620: Second Frontier War.
- 624: the Express Boat Network is established.
- 800-820: the Psionics Suppressions.
- 979-986: Third Frontier War.
- 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the subsector.
- 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the subsector becomes widely available.
- 1082-1084: Fourth Frontier War, also known as the False War.
- 1107-1110: Fifth Frontier War.
Subsector Summary
Aramis, subsector D of Spinward Marches, contains 26 worlds with an estimated combined population of 32 billion, a per capita income of Cr3,480, and a total economy of BCr114,097. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr125 through 22 starports (2 Class A, 8 Class B, 10 Class C, 2 Class D) employing 20,305 people. Driving this interstellar trade are six Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Aramis maintain four Naval bases, three Scout bases, and one Way station. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 6 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Feneteman (Spinward Marches 3104).
Aramis, subsector D of Spinward Marches, contains 35 stars and 287 identified planets; 17 monostellar systems, nine binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 19 of the 26 systems (73%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, no Desert (De) worlds, two Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, one Poor (Po) world, one Vacuum (Va) world, and three Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.
Aramis has an estimated population of 32 billion distributed across two High population (Hi) worlds, one Moderate population (Ph) world, 16 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, five Low population (Lo) worlds, and one Barren (Ba) world. The highest population world is Junidy (Spinward Marches 3202). The population consists primarily of 4 sophont groups including two native sophonts.
