=== Astrographic Features ===
{{Summary}}
+
The subsector is a generally unremarkable area of [[Non-Aligned|neutral]] space.
 +
* It is a relatively low stellar density region.
 +
* The subsector does not have one significantly brighter star: it contains a number of white main sequence stars sharing similar characteristics.
 +
 
 +
==== Stellar Distribution ====
 +
A basic map showing the distribution and size of [[star]]s within Delos Subsector.
 +
* 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.
 +
 
 +
==== Rift Regions ====
 +
[[File:Chart Neworld Sector Rifts Basic Labelled.png|175 px|right|thumb|Neworld Sector Rifts]]
 +
The subsector contains two [[Rift|rift region]]s: the [[Gulf of Asphodel]] and the [[Quatuor Rift]].
 +
 
 +
[[File:Chart Delos Subsector Rifts Labelled Basic.png|225 px]] <br> (Chart sourced from [[Traveller Map]])
 +
 
 +
Locally at least, a [[rift]] is an [[Astrography|astrographic]] and commercial concept based on [[Jump Drive]] performance.
 +
* Most commercial vessels typically use [[Jump Drive]]s capable of [[Jump Drive|Jump-3]] or less.
 +
* Areas that cannot be crossed by [[Jump Drive|Jump-3-capable]] vessels are denoted as ''[[rift]]s''.
 +
* [[Rift]]s represent a considerable obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.

 +
==== Trade Routes ====
 +
High cargo capacity, [[Jump Drive|low jump rating]] vessels move along the [[Main|clusters and traces]] of the region, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds. [[Jump Drive|Jump-2]] and [[Jump Drive|Jump-3]] feeder routes work their ways around the [[Rift|rifts and voids]] that dot the region, linking the various [[Main|clusters and traces]].
 +
 
 +
==== Clusters ====
 +
The subsector contains parts of two clusters of worlds: the [[Coilin Trace]] and the [[Seguranca Cluster]].

Delos Subsector is subsector J of Neworld Sector.

Description (Specifications)

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

Astrographic Features

The subsector is a generally unremarkable area of neutral space.

  • It is a relatively low stellar density region.
  • The subsector does not have one significantly brighter star: it contains a number of white main sequence stars sharing similar characteristics.

Stellar Distribution

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

  • 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.

Rift Regions

The subsector contains two rift regions: the Gulf of Asphodel and the Quatuor Rift.

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic and commercial concept based on Jump Drive performance.

  • Most commercial vessels typically use Jump Drives capable of Jump-3 or less.
  • Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
  • Rifts represent a considerable obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.

Economic Astrography

Trade Routes

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the clusters and traces of the region, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds. Jump-2 and Jump-3 feeder routes work their ways around the rifts and voids that dot the region, linking the various clusters and traces.

Clusters

The subsector contains parts of two clusters of worlds: the Coilin Trace and the Seguranca Cluster.

Coilin Trace

Neworld Sector Clusters

The Coilin Trace.

  • It has 6 member systems.
  • It is named for Coilin (also known as SCSS-D4), one of the few named systems within the Trace.

World Listing

Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that lie within Delos Subsector 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:

19 Worlds in the Delos Subsector

Subsector Summary

Delos, subsector J of Neworld, contains 19 worlds with an estimated combined population of 7 billion, a per capita income of Cr12,144, and a total economy of BCr94,825. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr183 through 13 starports (7 Class A, 2 Class B, 3 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 30,240 people. Driving this interstellar trade are two Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, two Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Delos maintain four Naval bases and three Military bases. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 3 and 12). The highest technology level is 14 at Holmberg (Neworld 0925), Antiochus (Neworld 1325), and Delos (Neworld 1622).

Delos, subsector J of Neworld, contains 29 stars and 207 identified planets; 11 monostellar systems, six binary systems, two trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 16 of the 19 systems (84%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, one Desert (De) world, three Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, one Poor (Po) world, three Vacuum (Va) worlds, and one Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) world.

Delos has an estimated population of 7 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, one Moderate population (Ph) world, seven Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, six Low population (Lo) worlds, and four Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Delos (Neworld 1622). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups including one native sophont.

2 identified sophont populations in Delos


Solomani Confederation

The Solomani Confederation has jurisdiction over 14 worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of 7 billion, a per capita income of Cr13,113, and a total economy of BCr91,897. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr181 through 10 starports (5 Class A, 2 Class B, 2 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 29,790 people. Driving this interstellar trade are two Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in the Solomani Confederation maintain two Naval bases and two Military bases within the subsector. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 3 and 12). The highest technology level is 14 at Antiochus (Neworld 1325) and Delos (Neworld 1622).

The Solomani Confederation has an estimated population of 7 billion within the subsector, distributed across one High population (Hi) world, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, six Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, four Low population (Lo) worlds, and three Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Delos (Neworld 1622). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups including one native sophont.

Non-Aligned, Human-dominated

There are four Non-Aligned Human-dominated worlds in Delos with an estimated combined population of 800 million.

Non-Aligned, unclaimed

There is one Non-Aligned unclaimed world in Delos with an estimated population of less than 1 million.
