Subsector Summary[edit]

Gveghz, subsector G of Provence, contains seven worlds with an estimated combined population of 790 million, a per capita income of Cr8,632, and a total economy of BCr6,820. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr24 through 7 starports (2 Class A, 2 Class B, 3 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 6,705 people. Driving this interstellar trade are five Agricultural (Ag) worlds, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, one Pre-Industrial (Pi) world, three Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Gveghz maintain one Naval base. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 8 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Aeghvoekogz (Provence 1712).

Gveghz, subsector G of Provence, contains seven stars and 79 identified planets; seven monostellar systems, no binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 7 of the seven systems (100%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, one Desert (De) world, one Garden (Ga) world, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, one Poor (Po) world, no Vacuum (Va) worlds, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Gveghz has an estimated population of 790 million distributed across no High population (Hi) worlds, one Moderate population (Ph) world, five Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, no Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Aeghvoekogz (Provence 1712). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.

The Empire of Varroerth has jurisdiction over three worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of 707 million, a per capita income of Cr9,316, and a total economy of BCr6,587. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr19 through 3 starports (1 Class A, 2 Class B, 0 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 4,895 people. Driving this interstellar trade are one Agricultural (Ag) world, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and no Industrial (In) worlds.

The Empire of Varroerth has an estimated population of 707 million within the subsector, distributed across no High population (Hi) worlds, one Moderate population (Ph) world, two Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, no Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds.
