Old Islands Subsector, first settled in AD 4512 (-9 Imperial) with generation ships and cold sleep capsules from Terra, developed and expanded with ships using sublight drives for nearly a thousand years. During the Third Frontier War, a chance encounter with an Imperial navy cruiser brought jump drives to all major worlds in the Cluster. In the 130 years since then, contact with the Imperium has been slight, but the worlds within the subsector have struggled almost continually to achieve supremacy over neighboring systems.

Achille: Colonized by a utopian group from Sansterre, the colony remains although the original fervor has waned.

Amondiage: The third of the three initially settled worlds. Amondiage is an arid world with little in the way of riches or resources. Ruled by a charismatic dictatorship, it has emphasized exploitation of its main colony, at Acadie, as a source of minerals and raw materials.

Neubayern: One of the original three worlds settled, Neubayern remained on the fringes of development until jump drives became available. Thereafter, it has joined in the competition for its share of the Cluster. Neubayern is governed by a charismatic oligarchy, and has one colony at Schlesien Belt.

New Home: The first world settled by the ESA Longrange Colony Mission, New Home is the oldest settlement in the Cluster, and the richest. It boasts the highest technology, although its population level is slightly lower than the other major worlds.

Sansterre: A water world on the coreward edge of the Cluster, Sansterre is a representative democracy with extensive underwater settlements scattered all across the world's ocean bottoms. Its major resource colony, at St. Denis, provides some surface agricultural produce.

St. Genevieve: A very small band of wealthy recluses claims this world; so far no one has disturbed them.

Sturgeon's Law: Settled when the sublight ship Infinite crashed in the planet's single sea. The plant forms on the land surface metabolize metal and human protoplasm with equal ease.
