Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Voudzeur 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.
The Dzarrgh Run
The spinward-rimward worlds of the subsector are members of the Dzarrgh Run, a trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector. It is a small Main.
- It has 28 member systems.
- A few of its coreward worlds lie within the Irrgh Manifest, a Vargr polity.
- Its central worlds run through Balkanized Space and the Imperium.
- Some of its spinward worlds are members of the Dzarrgh Federate, a Vargr polity.

- Worlds lying on the Run are highlighted in tan.
New Vland Cluster
A few rimward worlds of the subsector are members of the New Vland Cluster, a small trade route running between Provence Sector and Corridor Sector.
- It has eight member systems.
- Its coreward worlds are controlled by the Glory of Taarskoerzn.
- Its rimward worlds lie in the strip of Balkanized Space between the Vargr Extents and the Imperium.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
- Worlds lying within the New Vland Cluster are highlighted in gray.
World Listings
Comprehensive Second Survey UWP data for all worlds lying within the subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may contain contradictory or incorrect information.
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.
History & Background (Dossier)
The large number of planetoid belts located within the habitable zones of stars (including Orgukung, and Dzaegkaek, Anthonkfoers, Aenggvug, Gingrue, and Aeghzisung, within Lighoz Subsector) has led Vargr researchers to conclude that these worlds were once whole. They believe that these worlds were destroyed during the War of the Ancients. Although there is plenty of circumstantial evidence to support the theory, conclusive evidence has not yet been found.
- Small teams of Vargr researchers, funded by shadowy interests, operate from bases within the belts.

- Irrgh Manifest (VIrM).

Major Historical Events Timeline
Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:
- ca -250,000: The Ancients were active within the sector, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
- -9235: the Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
- -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
- -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
- -2404 to -2215: the human Interstellar Wars rage far to rimward. The region becomes increasingly neglected.
- -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
- ca -2350: the Foergaz Coalition, an early polity, collapses.
- -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man nominally administers the rimward worlds of the region. Conflicts escalate between Vargr and humans as the Vargr occupy former Ziru Sirka territory.
- ca -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 and some worlds become barren.
- The Year 0: to rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
- circa 26: the Empire of Varroerth is founded.
- early 100s: the Contract of Taarskoerzn is founded.
- 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the subsector.
