Spinward Main.jpg

The Spinward Main is an astrographic group of systems in the Spinward Marches Sector, each within jump-1 of another.

  • Together, this grouping forms a corridor of jump points that allows simple jump-1 ships to travel to fifteen of the sixteen subsectors within the Spinward Marches, and to 236 of the sector's 439 known worlds.
  • Please also see: Main

Description (Specifications)[edit]

Worlds on the Main are marked in green. (Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

The Spinward Main[edit]

Meandering throughout the Spinward Marches is an informal trade route called the Spinward Main. This Main is a line (actually several lines, with branches) of worlds each only jump-1 from the next. The result is that long, often profitable trading journeys are possible even for lowly jump-1 ships. From Regina, the Main extends coreward, into the subsector. It also extends spinward, beyond the Imperial borders, ultimately to Querion Subsector and the Zhodani Consulate. [1]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Spinward Main has been popularly divided into several subsections, such as the Regina Cluster, a cul-de-sac branch which enters Regina subsector at Jenghe and extends as far as Efate.

Named segments include:

Subsectors[edit]

By long-standing tradition, heading in the direction of District 268 (broadly Spinward-Rimward) or along the Mora Arm (Trailing-Rimward) from Regina Subsector is ‘Down the Main’; the opposite direction is ‘Up.’

While most of the Main lies within the borders of the Imperium, branches enter the Darrian Confederation and the Sword Worlds Confederation, and some segments traverse neutral space.

This astrographic feature is found in the following areas:
Charted Space – Third Imperium – Balkanized Space:

World Listing[edit]

Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that are members of the Spinward Main 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:
