Jump map from Travellermap.com

Gambda is a high-population ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and are both non-agricultural and industrial in nature with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

• These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• As a group of industrial worldlets, well-developed manufacturing and processing sectors are major business here. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• The worldlets are, for the most part, unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Alba Subsector of Alpha Crucis Sector.

• This world was colonized by and is controlled from Sumax.

Historical Data

The many independent asteroid stations making up the prosperous Gambda Belt resent Summax's colonial domination and an independence movement has been gaining strength; Solomani Party militants may be fanning the flames.

Timeline

• Terran Confederation era: A little more than one thousand extended families of Terran origin settle the region around White. Their colonies have mutual origins on Terra, and maintain these ties over the interstellar distances between systems.
  • This is the foundation of the Protectorate of Alba.
• 198: Serious negotiations began with Solomani worlds in the Alba Protectorate to have them join the Imperium as client states.
  • It will, however, be many decades before they achieve full membership.
• 685: White sends a large delegation to the first Solomani Movement meeting on Terra (Solomani Rim 1827).
