Muscida Subsector is Subsector P of Canopus Sector.
- It is an area of Balkanized Space.
- The rimward border of the Solomani Confederation runs through the region.
- It is also known as Marrakesh Subsector.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Muscida Subsector:
Astrographic Features[edit]
The subsector is a generally unremarkable region of Balkanized Space on the rimward border of the Solomani Confederation.
- It is an average stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the orange giant primary of the Marrakesh system.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Muscida 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.
Rift Regions[edit]
The subsector contains a single rift region:
- The spinward half of the Marraki Rift.
Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic and commercial concept based on Jump Drive performance.
- Most commercial vessels typically use Jump Drives capable of Jump-3 or less.
- Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
- Rifts represent a considerable obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.
Economic Astrography[edit]
The following commercial and economic data regarding the subsector is available:
Corporations[edit]
Corporations and organizations active within the subsector include:
- ConTech, a corporation specializing in life sciences, particularly large-scale bio-terraforming projects, medicine, and cloning.
- Guardian Military Systems, a large corporation involved in defense and armaments manufacture, with its core area of operations within the sector.
- Lamarck Minerals, a corporation with a relatively small core area of operations in the Solomani Rim, but with growing interests in resource extraction and processing throughout the Solomani Sphere.
- Layaefui, an Aslan corporation that specializes in exploration, scouting, and surveying.
- Orion Metallurgy Corporation (OMC), engaged in resource exploration, extraction, and processing throughout the spinward and rimward parts of the Confederation.
- Panstellar, a major transport and logistics corporation.
- Probable Technologies, a scientific research organization involved with academia and heavy industry. It works extensively with the Confederation military.
- Rising Phoenix News Service (RPNS), the premier news and media organization within the Solomani Sphere. It has a strong pro-Confederation bias.
- Solomani Maschinenbau (SolMan) AG, a corporation with interests in heavy engineering and starship manufacture throughout the spinward half of the Confederation.
- Solomani Shipping, a major transport and logistics corporation.
- Transstar, a Solomani megacorporation specializing in transport and logistics. It operates across 13 sectors, represented by the 13 stars in its logo.
- ZeeCorp, a corporation with interests in manufacturing active throughout the Solomani Confederation. It is a major producer of robots.
Goods[edit]
Notable local commodities include:
- (none currently listed)
Security & Defense[edit]
The worlds of the sector are patrolled by the Solomani Navy. It defends Confederation territory, protects Confederation interests, suppresses piracy, and ensures interstellar trade and commerce.
- Confederation vessels may demand customs inspections.
- Some systems are defended by local naval forces.
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that lie within Muscida 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:
28 Worlds in the Muscida Subsector
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.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Solomani State and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Aslan are uniformly less likely to be cooperative with Solomani interests, but almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, while others can be manipulated or coerced.
- SolSec actively competes against rival intelligence agencies in areas beyond the Confederation's borders.
