The Olinda Trace is a small cluster lying within Canopus Sector.
- It is an astrographic feature and a minor trade route.
- It lies within the Solomani Confederation.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
The Olinda Trace is a small cluster lying in the central-rimward part of Canopus Sector.
- It has five member systems.
- It is named for Olinda, a technologically backward agricultural world with a tropical climate.
A basic overview of the Cluster, right:
Commercial Data[edit]
The following commercial and economic data is available:
Corporations[edit]
Corporations and organizations active within the Trace 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 Canopus 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.
- Orion Metallurgy Corporation (OMC), engaged in resource exploration, extraction, and processing throughout the Solomani Sphere.
- 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.

Notable local commodities include:
- (none currently listed)
Security & Defense[edit]
The worlds of the Trace are patrolled by the Solomani Navy. It protects Confederation interests, suppresses piracy, and ensures interstellar trade and commerce.
- Confederation vessels may demand customs inspections.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Trace, carrying large amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things within the Trace to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, while a few see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.
Demographics[edit]
Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this area:
- Humaniti (Human races)
- Solomani (Major Race): Widely spread across the region.
- Non-Human Races
- Aslan (Major Race): Occasionally encountered across the region.
Linguistic Topography[edit]
The most commonly heard languages are:
- Rim Anglic, a dialect of Anglic and the principal language of the Confederation.
- Trokh, the principal language of the Aslan Hierate
- Minor Aslan Languages: note that some Aslan Clans retain obscure or archaic languages for personal use in addition to Trokh.
Timeline[edit]

- -4045 to -2204: The Ziru Sirka controls vast territories.
- -2431: Terrans discover jump drive technology.
- -2404 to -2215: The Interstellar Wars. The young Terran Confederation battles against the ancient Vilani Ziru Sirka.
- -2204 to -1776: The Rule of Man administers the former Ziru Sirka.

- The Year 0: To coreward, the Third Imperium is founded.
- 300-420: The Imperial First Survey charts the system.
- 380: The Peace of Ftahalr ends the ongoing Aslan Border Wars and establishes understandings regarding Human and Aslan influence.

Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)[edit]
This astrographic feature is found in the following areas:
Charted Space – Solomani Confederation:
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that are members of the Olinda Trace 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:
5 of 5 World articles in Olinda Trace

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.
