Lighoz Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by Vargr.

  • The resources of the subsector are being exploited.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Lighoz Subsector:

  • The subsector is an average stellar density region.
  • The brightest star is the white bright giant primary of the Aeghzisung system.
  • The Dzarrgh Run, an important local trade route, passes through the subsector.

Stellar Distribution[edit]

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Lighoz Subsector, right:

  • The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
  • The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.

Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.

  • Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
  • Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.

The Dzarrgh Run[edit]

The rimward worlds of the subsector are members of the Dzarrgh Run, a trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector. It is a small Main.

A basic chart of the Run is shown, right:

  • Worlds lying on the Run are highlighted in tan.

World Listings[edit]

Comprehensive Second Survey UWP data for all worlds lying within the subsector is available.

  • The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
  • Other sources may contain contradictory or incorrect information.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

The large number of planetoid belts located within the habitable zones of stars (including Dzaegkaek, Anthonkfoers, Aenggvug, Gingrue, Aeghzisung, and Orgukung within Voudzeur Subsector) has led Vargr researchers to conclude that these worlds were once whole. They believe that these worlds were destroyed during the War of the Ancients. Although there is plenty of circumstantial evidence to support the theory, conclusive evidence has not yet been found.

Polity Listing[edit]

The following polities lie within the subsector:

Native Sophonts (NILs)[edit]

No races (sophont species) are believed to have originated in this area.

Demographics[edit]

Subsector Summary[edit]

Lighoz, subsector M of Provence contains 28 worlds with an estimated population of 74 billion, a per capita income of Cr3,783, and a total economy is BCr280,761. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr1,157 through 28 starports (6 Class A, 12 Class B, 8 Class C, 2 Class D) employing 166,015 people. Driving this interstellar trade are four Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, one Pre-Industrial (Pi) world, three Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Lighoz maintain 11 Naval bases, seven Corsair bases, and two Military bases. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 8 and 11). The highest technology level is 13 at Uedtzon (Provence 0635) and Kirg (Provence 0831).

Lighoz, subsector M of Provence contains 35 stars and 320 identified planets; 21 monostellar systems, seven binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 28 of the 28 systems (100%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, no Desert (De) worlds, one Garden (Ga) world, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, one Poor (Po) world, four Vacuum (Va) worlds, and two Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Lighoz has an estimated population of 74 billion distributed across four High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 12 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, seven Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Arerzthoe (Provence 0634). The population consists of 1 sophont groups.
