Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)

Dagudashaag Sector

There is speculation that Sternmetal has made overtures to the subsector government for the purchase of Miagrathe in the Adele system, and has sent a number of hopefuls to the planet in search of valuable ores.

Deneb Sector

As a major player in the mining and manufacturing sectors, Sternmetal was one of the original heavy investors in Deneb Sector. Its power generation and food production equipment is in use on a great many worlds, with the company's research division finding innovative ways to make otherwise inedible substances palatable and nutritious. Within Deneb, Sternmetal has a reputation for hard-nosed business practices, and is believed to put living conditions far below profit on its many mining installations.

• Sternmetal Horizons has several mining concessions on Canisus.

Gateway Sector

Sternmetal is the only Imperial concern to make much of an impact in the Trindel Confederacy.

Ley Sector

Titanstorm Mobile is a subsidiary of Sternmetal Horizons specializing in personal transport vehicles with distribution throughout the Titanstorm Subsector.

Reaver's Deep Sector

Sternmetal has a regional headquarters on St. George and wholly owns Inura, a poor hellworld in Urlaqqash Subsector. Sternmetal facilities are found on Diablo and Tashrakaar. The corporation has a perpetual lease to manage the independent world of Luushakaan and recently obtained a license to explore diamond mining sites on MacBeth. Sternmetal owns Far-Star Mining Equipment, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary with corporate offices on Caledon.

Reft Sector

Sternmetal tends to do things on a large scale, and does not consider the Islands Cluster to be worth investment. Its presence there is minimal, restricted to a few executives keeping an eye on the activities of other commercial concerns.

• In Imperial space, Sternmetal is in dispute with the government of Grudovo over its desire to establish a mining outpost on their world.

Spinward Marches Sector

• The world of Stern-Stern is mined by Sternmetal Automation, a joint operation of Sternmetal and Naasirka.
• A survey team from Sternmetal Horizons is currently surveying Whanga to judge whether mining would be profitable.
• The corporation is active on Gunn.
• Playa Mining and Shipping is a subsidiary company purchased by the parent company in 1010, and operates within the Marches and the Extents. PM&S has a reputation as a strip mining juggernaut who frequently catches heat for environmental concerns and shady practices regarding private properties and indigenous lands and peoples.

Trojan Reach Sector

• Belt-9 is one of eleven asteroid belt systems in and around the Imperium owned by Sternmetal Horizons. A low population asteroid world located in the Gazulin Subsector, it is operated almost entirely by robot mining vehicles, with a few humans engaged in supervision and repairs.
• At Torpol, there are mining corporations and belters, including a presence by Sternmetal Horizons in the system's inner belt.
