High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the worlds of the Cluster carrying huge amounts of goods and commodities to its varied markets. Jump-2 and Jump-3 feeder routes work their ways around the rifts and voids that dot the region, linking the Cluster to outlying worlds.

Both ConTech and Probable Technologies, Solomani organizations involved in scientific research, seem remarkably interested in the Uplifted Ape communities on Namal.

Solomani Security keeps a close eye on activities and events within the Cluster to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but many see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.
