Delos Subsector is subsector J of Neworld Sector.
- It lies within the Solomani Confederation.
Description (Specifications)
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Delos Subsector:
Astrographic Features
The subsector is a generally unremarkable area lying on the rimward edge of the Solomani Confederation.
- It is a relatively low stellar density region.
- The marginally brightest stars are the similar yellow main sequence primaries of the Genial and Gloriana systems.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Delos Subsector, right:
- 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.
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.
Rift Regions
The subsector contains one rift region: the Delos Void.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic and commercial concept based on Jump Drive performance.
- Most commercial vessels typically use Jump Drives capable of Jump-3 or less.
- Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
- Rifts represent a considerable obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.
Economic Astrography
Trade Routes
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the clusters and traces of the region, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds. Jump-2 and Jump-3 feeder routes work their ways around the rifts and voids that dot the region, linking the various clusters and traces.
Clusters
The subsector contains all or parts of two clusters of worlds: the Belicheki Cluster and the Holmberg Trace.
Belicheki Cluster
The Belicheki Cluster.
- It has 18 member systems.
- It is named for Belicheki, a technologically advanced moderately populated world.
The world of Ides falls within Delos Subsector, and marks a rimward terminus of the cluster.
Holmberg Trace
The Holmberg Trace.
- It has six member systems.
- It is named for Holmberg, a technologically advanced low population world.
Corporations
Corporations and organizations known to be active within the subsector include:
- ConTech, a corporation specializing in life sciences, particularly large-scale bio-terraforming projects, medicine, and cloning.
- Guardian Military Systems, a large corporation involved in defense and armaments manufacture, with its core area of operations within Aldebaran Sector.
- Layaefui, an Aslan corporation that specializes in exploration, scouting, and surveying.
- Orion Metallurgy Corporation (OMC), a Solomani organization engaged in resource exploration, extraction, and processing throughout the region.
- Panstellar, a major Solomani transport and logistics corporation.
- Probable Technologies, a scientific research organization involved with academia and heavy industry. It works extensively with the Confederation military.
- Rising Phoenix News Service (RPNS), the premier news and media organization within the Solomani Sphere. It has a strong pro-Confederation bias.
- Star Patterns Trading, a Hiver corporation involved in transport and logistics. It maintains good relations with both the Solomani Confederation and the Imperium.
- Transstar, a Solomani megacorporation specializing in transport and logistics. It operates across 13 sectors, represented by the 13 stars in its logo.
- ZeeCorp, a corporation with interests in manufacturing active throughout the Solomani Confederation. It is a major producer of robots.
Goods
Notable local commodities include:
- (none currently listed)
Security & Defense
The worlds of the subsector are patrolled by the Solomani Navy. It defends Confederation territory, protects Confederation interests, suppresses piracy, and ensures interstellar trade and commerce.
- Confederation vessels may demand customs inspections.
- Some systems are defended by local naval forces.
World Listing
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that lie within Delos Subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
History & Background (Dossier)
Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things within the subsector to ensure the security of the Solomani Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but a few see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.
Polity Listing
The following polities can be found within this subsector:
Major Powers
Non-Aligned Powers (World-States)
- Non-Aligned, Human-dominated.
- Non-Aligned, unclaimed.
Historical Powers
- Terran Mercantile Community (-1862 to -1110). Active across parts of Neworld Sector for almost seven centuries. While it was non-governmental in principle, it actively claimed and exploited vast regions of space, though most of the territory it controlled was barren wilderness.
- Third Imperium (588 to 871). The Imperium claimed the former territories of the Terran Mercantile Community in 588 and directly controlled them until it devolved its authority to the Solomani Autonomous Region in 704, though it retained titular authority until 871. The Mercantile Community had ceased to exist about 1,600 years before and few of the worlds that came under Imperial dominion had any tangible link to it.
- Solomani Autonomous Region (704 to 940).
Capitals
The various polity and regional capitals found within the subsector include:
Native Sophonts
No sophont species are believed to have originated in this area.
