'''I-Glathriel''' has been a training ground for the merchant service and the scout service since it was first charted.  It has often been said that more finely-honed officers are forged from base metal here, than anywhere in [[The Beyond Sector|Beyond]].  And this has indeed proven to be true.  The First Admiral of the [[Comsentient Alliance]], Lady Lysilph Kunseba, received her early training here, as did Senior Scout James Steuard of Gryphon/Storm.

* I-Glathriel contains the Imperium's infamous Starbase Arcturus II, commanded by Commodore Steven vice-Aarons.  The starbase is an important link in the {{Imperium}}'s xboat route from the [[Vanguard Reaches Sector|Vanguard Reaches]] through Beyond to Capital.

* Unfortunately, I-Glathriel has also gained a reputation as the haven for at least two privateer fleets, the [[Webrunners]] and the [[Dark Goddesses]], although the Webrunners claim to have legitimate Letters of Marque from the [[Zydarian Codominium]] and are the only "commercial shippers" permitted within the [[I'Sred*Ni Heptad]] — where they often seek refuge when pursued.
