Vhodan Subsector is Subsector B of Vland Sector.
- It is a region of Balkanized Space.
- It is located within Charted Space.
Description (Specifications)
Vhodan Subsector is a long settled region, divided between the Imperial Domain of Vland, neutral human worlds, and areas dominated by the Vargr. Originally settled by the Ziru Sirka and then controlled by the Rule of Man, it was partially conquered by the Vargr prior to the Long Night and has remained as a frontier since that time.
- It has been developed and exploited for millennia.
Astrographic Features
The following astrographic features and trade routes can be found within this subsector:
- It is a standard stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the unstable red giant primary of the Jiinasha system.
- Xboat Hubs are located at Vhodan and Maran.
- Most Imperial worlds within the subsector lie on the Vilani Main.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Vhodan 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.
(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 subsector and far beyond.
Trade Routes (Economic Astrography
One major trade route dominates the region:
The Vilani Main
The Vilani Main, the mighty trade artery of the Ziru Sirka, winds through the rimward half of the subsector.
- High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels moving along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr1,106 through 26 starports (5 Class A, 7 Class B, 13 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 253,195 people. Driving this interstellar trade are two Agricultural (Ag) worlds, seven Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, seven Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Vhodan maintain eight Scout bases, four Naval bases, and two Corsair bases. The average technology level is 10 (with most between 7 and 12). The highest technology level is 14 at Otsaellghue (Vland 0902), Maran (Vland 1408), and Audhumla (Vland 1509).
Vhodan, subsector B of Vland, contains 44 stars and 299 identified planets; 19 monostellar systems, 11 binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 22 of the 31 systems (70%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, three Desert (De) worlds, one Garden (Ga) world, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, seven Poor (Po) worlds, four Vacuum (Va) worlds, and six Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.
Vhodan has an estimated population of 93 billion distributed across five High population (Hi) worlds, four Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 12 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, four Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Guusimka (Vland 1407), Maran (Vland 1408), and Vhodan (Vland 1208). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups.

- circa -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
- -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area. Many worlds become barren.
- The Year 0: the Third Imperium is founded.
- 300-420: the First Survey charts the subsector.
- 604 to 622: the Imperial Civil War. The region suffers disruption and widespread economic issues.
- 624: the Express Boat Network is established, facilitating communications, trade, and economic growth within the area.
- 995-1065: the Second Survey charts the subsector.
