Spinward Marches style="width: 250px; height: 350px; border: solid 1px black; float: right; clear: left"

The Spinward Marches Sector is the Imperium’s farthest frontier sector, containing 439 star systems divided along a coreward/rimward line by the Imperial border.

The Spinward Marches has been settled since the 400s and is still a frontier sector. High-tech worlds are scattered among empty, fallow worlds; there is potential for exploration, exploitation, and development for centuries to come.

The Spinward Marches sector is not only a frontier, it is a war-torn frontier. The Imperium expanded into unclaimed territory until it reached the Marches, but there it found other races already in place. Most of these races were inconsequential, but the Zhodani had an empire nearly as large and as powerful as the Imperium. They were a force to be reckoned with; they resisted the Imperial advance and this created an atmosphere of contention and conflict.

The Spinward edge of the Imperium is 130 parsecs from the Emperor's throne on Capital (Core 2118). Beyond that border lie many worlds; some are client-states of the Imperium, while others are independent non-aligned governments.

The relationship between the Zhodani Consulate and the Imperium has never been an easy one. The continuing mistrust between the two empires makes another war both possible and probable. The Zhodani have supported guerrilla insurgency on Efate; Zhodani military preparations have resulted in Imperial registered ships being fired upon, boarded or destroyed; and both sides have established trade restrictions on the other's commodities.

Physical Astrography

Astrography and travel in the Marches are dominated by the Spinward Main, a chain of 223 systems meandering through fifteen of the Marches' sixteen subsectors.

Each system on the Spinward Main is only jump-1 from its nearest neighbors, making interstellar travel along the Main accessible even to starships with the least expensive jump drives.

The following astrographic data regarding the sector has been determined:

  • It is an average density region.
  • The brightest star in the sector is the orange bright giant primary of the Hefry system.
    • Thirteen marginally less luminous red giant stars dot the sector, with six forming a distinct, easily recognized group in its rimward-trailing quadrant.
  • The sector is studded with small rift density regions.

Stellar Distribution

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

  • 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.

Chart Spinward Marches Stellar Distribution Basic.png
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).

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 sector and far beyond.

Rift Regions[1]

The Spinward Marches has multiple well defined rift regions and also contains a number of minor voids that are too small to qualify as a true rift. These various areas of lower stellar density serve to hamper travel and restrict commerce within its boundaries.

Named rift regions include:

Nature of Rifts

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

Rift regions generally relate to regular commercial traffic and the way it travels between destinations. Merchant vessels with jump-4 drives or better are fairly rare because of the higher costs involved in operating the vessel and the lower revenue generated by the reduced cargo space due to the need for large fuel tanks. As a result, the vast majority of merchant vessels are capable of jump-3 or less.

  • Large areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
  • The nature and borders of a rift may be determined by other criteria in different regions.

Many of the named rift regions within the Marches don't qualify as true rifts under the criteria imposed by the Scout Service. However, many have traditionally recognized boundaries and are important local astrographic features, and as such they are included. Different sources may provide alternative names, different boundaries, or completely ignore the presence of some rifts depicted on the chart.

In order to qualify as a rift, the region must have ten or more contiguous hexes. Many subsectors have minor void regions that are too small to qualify as a true rift, but are still significant enough to seriously hamper and channel interstellar travel.

This list is representative: many other corporations and organizations operate within the region.

Importance

A chart is provided showing importance as green circles centered on a world, with larger circles indicating greater importance and overlapping circles giving an overview of a region's economic significance. While importance is largely a measure of raw economic power, other influencing factors include starport quality, political significance, a high planetary habitability rating, or even the local culture.

Importance also gives a good indication of the sphere of influence that individual worlds exert.

Mains Clusters & Traces

Chart: Mains & Clusters
Chart: Jump-2 Accessibility

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the clusters and traces of the sector, 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.

Mains

Main is an astrographic term for groups of 50 or more systems that are accessible by jump-1-capable starships.

Mains are highlighted in green: two mains lie within the sector.

Clusters

Cluster is a broad astrographic term for groups of between 10 and 50 systems that are accessible by jump-1-capable starships.

Clusters are highlighted in tan: four clusters lie wholly or partially within the sector.

Traces

Trace is an astrographic term for groups of between 5 and 10 systems that are accessible by jump-1-capable starships.

Traces are highlighted in brown: 9 trace-sized clusters of worlds lie wholly or partially within the sector.

Politics and Diplomacy : Historical

True development of the Spinward Marches began with the arrival of the Imperials in 60 when Mora (Spinward Marches 3124) was settled; Regina (Spinward Marches 1910) was settled in 75. Between 200 and 400, the major Imperial exploration and settlement of the Marches took place. By 500, there were Imperial explorations beyond the Marches and into Zhodani territory in the adjacent Foreven (Iakr) sector.
