Subsector A of Trojan Reach Sector. The Menorial Subsector, like Dpres, Sindal, and Egyrn, is part of the Outrim Void.
Description (Specifcations)
These worlds have been largely ignored by the IISS, and were only recently fully surveyed (1103). Menorial is jammed between the Imperial territory of the Five Sisters subsector, in the Spinward Marches, and the Florian League. It is thus the main trade route between the two, and the Imperial and Floriani influences are quite evident.
Subsector Summary: 1116
Menorial, subsector A of Trojan Reach, contains 21 worlds with an estimated combined population of 101 billion, a per capita income of Cr9,086, and a total economy of BCr917,743. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr604 through 17 starports (4 Class A, 10 Class B, 0 Class C, 3 Class D) employing 199,665 people. Driving this interstellar trade are two Agricultural (Ag) worlds, five Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, four Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Menorial maintain two Naval bases, and two Military bases. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 5 and 12). The highest technology level is 14 at Strend (Trojan Reach 0505).
Menorial, subsector A of Trojan Reach, contains 28 stars and 223 identified planets; 14 monostellar systems, seven binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 17 of the 21 systems (80%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, five Desert (De) worlds, one Garden (Ga) world, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, six Poor (Po) worlds, two Vacuum (Va) worlds, and one Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) world.
Menorial has an estimated population of 101 billion distributed across two High population (Hi) worlds, two Moderate population (Ph) worlds, eight Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, five Low population (Lo) worlds, and one Barren (Ba) world. The highest population worlds are Strend (Trojan Reach 0505) and Trossachs (Trojan Reach 0310). The population consists primarily of 3 sophont groups including one native sophont.

History & Background (Dossier)
The Strend Cluster (Marseilles, Paques, Allemagne, Sable des Etoiles, and Strend) was first explored and settled in the late 900s by Lueien Strend, an independent trader and historian, proud of his heritage and fascinated with the early Terran culture of France.
- Ancient French is the common language on all worlds of the cluster, and many aspects of French culture are to be seen.
The mining and production company Vorkash Manufacturing operates in this subsector.
