[[Category: Subsectors in position {{{position}}}]] Alderamin subsector in the Solomani Rim Sector is named for the region's brightest star, also known as Alpha Cephei. Like most massive stars, it has no planets, but is circled by the Stralsund asteroid belt, a rich source of many commercially valuable elements.
Hoatzin is a low-density world with a dearth of heavy metals. Its industry relies on imports for raw materials, especially from Stralsund Belt. Hoatzin has also established mining colonies on Arukhur and Furioso.
The government of Shululsish is a rarity: a participatory democracy on a high population world, made possible by high technology. Each of the world's 30 billion carries a terminal connected to the planetary computer; all eligible voters are polled regularly and important laws are enacted in this fashion. All executive officials are elected for one-month terms. This form of government places a heavy burden on the individual, and the average citizen spends an hour a day in government related activity, both voting and consulting computer net information services for the information needed to make a decision. This governmental system is made possible only because of the leisure time available to workers at this world's tech level; many citizens become government buffs, devoting most of their time to voting on issues and proposing new topics for discussion.
