Voudzeur Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by Vargr.

  • The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
  • Inhabitants of the region are sometimes referred to as Highwaymen.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Voudzeur Subsector:

Stellar Distribution[edit]

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Voudzeur 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.

The Dzarrgh Run[edit]

The spinward-rimward worlds of the subsector are members of the Dzarrgh Run, a trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector. It is a small Main.

A basic chart of the Run is shown, right:

  • Worlds lying on the Run are highlighted in tan.

New Vland Cluster[edit]

A few rimward worlds of the subsector are members of the New Vland Cluster, a small trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector.

A basic chart of the Cluster is shown, right:

World Listings[edit]

Comprehensive Second Survey UWP data for all worlds lying within the subsector is available.

  • The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
  • Other sources may contain contradictory or incorrect information.

  • Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
  • Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
  • Verified updated data is constantly sought.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

The large number of planetoid belts located within the habitable zones of stars (including Orgukung, and Dzaegkaek, Anthonkfoers, Aenggvug, Gingrue, and Aeghzisung, within Lighoz Subsector) has led Vargr researchers to conclude that these worlds were once whole. They believe that these worlds were destroyed during the War of the Ancients. Although there is plenty of circumstantial evidence to support the theory, conclusive evidence has not yet been found.

Polity Listing[edit]

The following polities lie within the subsector:

Native Sophonts (NILs)[edit]

No races (sophont species) are believed to have originated in this area.

Demographics[edit]

Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this area:

Major Historical Events Timeline[edit]

Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:

Subsector Summary[edit]

Voudzeur, subsector N of Provence, contains 23 worlds with an estimated combined population of 23 billion, a per capita income of Cr6,072, and a total economy of BCr140,636. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr951 through 23 starports (6 Class A, 10 Class B, 7 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 206,235 people. Driving this interstellar trade are one Agricultural (Ag) world, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, two Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, two Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Voudzeur maintain seven Naval bases and five Corsair bases. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 7 and 11). The highest technology level is 14 at Voudzeur (Provence 1039).

Voudzeur, subsector N of Provence, contains 28 stars and 252 identified planets; 18 monostellar systems, five binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 23 of the 23 systems (100%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, one Desert (De) world, three Garden (Ga) worlds, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, seven Poor (Po) worlds, one Vacuum (Va) world, and three Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Voudzeur has an estimated population of 23 billion distributed across four High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 11 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, five Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Voudzeur (Provence 1039). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.

Irrgh Manifest[edit]

The Irrgh Manifest has jurisdiction over 17 worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of 18 billion, a per capita income of Cr6,745, and a total economy of BCr122,254.

Driving this interstellar trade are no Agricultural (Ag) worlds, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, two Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in the Irrgh Manifest maintain six Naval bases and four Corsair bases within the subsector. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 7 and 12). The highest technology level is 14 at Voudzeur (Provence 1039).

The Irrgh Manifest has an estimated population of 18 billion within the subsector, distributed across three High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, eight Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, four Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Voudzeur (Provence 1039). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.

Glory of Taarskoerzn[edit]

The Glory of Taarskoerzn has jurisdiction over six worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of 5 billion, a per capita income of Cr3,650, and a total economy of BCr18,382.
