Jump map from Travellermap.com

Sufren is a high-population, pre-rich garden world with a billion or more sophonts in population size, and a near-ideal utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, but still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• This world contains an archaeological site with suspected high-tech remnants of the now-vanished Ancients precursor race.
• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Sufren Subsector of Diaspora Sector in the Domain of Sol.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• A little over 90% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.
• A little under 10% of the population is composed of Orca.
• A significant population of Dolphins exists on this world.

Point of Interest: Dolphins & Orca

Sufren is home to a large population (over two million) of Orcinus orca sapiens, intelligent orcas produced by an offshoot of the same Terran program that resulted in the more well-known intelligent dolphins. These huge creatures were relocated to Sufren after funding was terminated for the program on Terra. They share Sufren's seas with a population of Tursiops truncatus galactus.

Point of Interest: Ancients Site

The Great Ziggurat

History & Background

Sufren is high population Imperial world located in Sufren Subsector of Diaspora Sector. Sufren is the subsector capital, a major industrial hub, a garden-world, and considered by many to be the jewel of the sector. Sufren features a fairly well-preserved Ancients site.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Sufren, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the estate and fiefdoms of three members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight, the Imperial representative to the world.
• It holds the estate of an Imperial baronet.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial count.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial subsector duke, who also conducts affairs regarding the entire subsector at the Interstellar and Imperial level.

History-Era: Rebellion

Sufren’s extensive government naval yard continues to produce the planet’s own military starships; only commercial hulls are produced offworld. That may not be the case much longer; local businesses are working to upgrade the commercial starport to an A class facility.

• However, since the Umorphutwyo (Diaspora 1816) incidents of the mid-1120s, access to the Ancients site has become difficult; Visitors must submit to background checks and personal interviews. The reason for these added precautions is not known, but rumors suggest that the Intelligence Division of Sufren's Planetary Navy has begun classified research at the site.
