New Islands, subsector J of Reft, contains 15 worlds with an estimated combined population of 18 billion, a per capita income of Cr5,805, and a total economy of BCr107,458. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr222 through 13 starports (4 Class A, 2 Class B, 5 Class C, 2 Class D) employing 25,650 people. Driving this interstellar trade are four Agricultural (Ag) worlds, two Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, four Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and three Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in New Islands maintain eight Military bases and four Naval bases. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 5 and 11). The highest technology level is 12 at Serendip Belt (Reft 1323), New Colchis (Reft 1327), and Joyeuse (Reft 1628).

New Islands, subsector J of Reft, contains 22 stars and 154 identified planets; eight monostellar systems, seven binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 8 of the 15 systems (53%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, one Desert (De) world, one Garden (Ga) world, two Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, one Poor (Po) world, four Vacuum (Va) worlds, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

New Islands has an estimated population of 18 billion distributed across four High population (Hi) worlds, one Moderate population (Ph) world, five Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, two Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Esperanza (Reft 0926). The population consists of 2 extant sophont groups including one native sophont. A Droyne population is now extinct.

2 identified sophont populations in New Islands
Humaniti of Terra (Solomani Rim 1827): 18 billion on 15 worlds. Orpheides of Orphee (Reft 1429): 1 million on their homeworld.

Non-Aligned, Human-dominated

There are 15 Non-Aligned Human-dominated worlds in New Islands with an estimated combined population of 18 billion.

 Colonized in the second wave of settlement after the [[European Space Agency Long-range Colony Mission]] arrived in this sector of the [[Great Rift]], it now boasts four major worlds with substantial populations. The most populous is [[Esperanza (world)| Esperanza]], far to the edge of the cluster, followed by [[New Colchis (world)| New Colchis]], [[Joyeuse (Re 1628) (world)| Joyeuse]], and [[Serendip Belt (world)| Serendip Belt]].
-'''[[Esperanza (world)|Esperanza]]''': Ruled by a well-entrenched non-charismatic dictatorship which enforces an oppressive political structure. Its tentacles extend to two vassal worlds: [[Wellington (world)|Wellington]] and [[St. Hilaire (world)|St. Hilaire]].

-The Batwings inhabiting this world were eradicated by the colonists within 200 years of the colonists arrival, in a process which Esperanzan historians are strangely reluctant to discuss. They have subsequently been identified as [[Droyne]].

-'''[[Herzenlust (world)|Herzenlust]]''': Settled from Neubayern during the sublight era. Arrivals from New Colchis took political control away from the residents.

+{{Summary}}
-'''[[New Colchis (world)|New Colchis]]''': A tertiary world colonized from Colchis, which was colonized from new Home, New Colchis is an industrial trade center with a colony at Herzenlust. Its government is headed by a charismatic dictator.
-'''[[Joyeuse (Re 1628) (world)]]''': Straddling the divider between the New and Old Islands, Joeuse is well-developed world with a government similar to that of Esperanza. It has a colony at Quichotte.
+=== Polity Listing ===
+* [[Esperanza]]
-'''[[Orphee (world)|Orphee]]''': The [[Orpheides]], a potentially intelligent race, are a herbi- vorous race confined to their world of origin. They have achieved only rudimentary development, although their culture at the TL has interested academics throughout the Clusters. It is expected that the Orpheides, with suitable protection from interference, can achieve a technological civilization within a few millennia.
+* [[Joyeuse]]
+* [[New Colchis]]
-Although it has a small human academic community, a convention between all the Cluster worlds interdicted Orphee to all trade and naval traffic. Occasional ships carry supplies and researchers call on the system occasionally.
+* [[Serendip Belt]]
-'''[[Serendip Belt (world)|Serendip Belt]]''': The asteroid belt at Serendip is a rich storehouse of mineral wealth; it is inhabited by independent merchants and miners under a feudal technocracy form of government. The center of government is still the C-Jammer. Serendip conquered nearby Gloire for an agricultural colony.
-'''[[Zuflucht (world)|Zuflucht]]''' was settled by refugees from a civil war on [[Topas (world)|Topas]].
