Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Gadoeth 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.
World Listing
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
- 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Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.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.
Subsector Summary
Gadoeth, subsector G of Gzaekfueg contains 31 worlds with an estimated population of 3 billion, a per capita income of Cr3,028, and a total economy is BCr11,988. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr145 through 25 starports (2 Class A, 8 Class B, 14 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 15,970 people. Driving this interstellar trade are five Agricultural (Ag) worlds, three Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Gadoeth maintain 13 Corsair bases, and ten Naval bases. The average technology level is 6 (with most between 4 and 8). The highest technology level is 11 at Ghallkaegz (Gzaekfueg 1914) and Lefaez (Gzaekfueg 2315).
Gadoeth, subsector G of Gzaekfueg contains 45 stars and no identified planets; 17 monostellar systems, 14 binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 29 of the 31 systems (93%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, three Desert (De) worlds, no Garden (Ga) worlds, two Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, two Poor (Po) worlds, two Vacuum (Va) worlds, and one Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) world.
Gadoeth has an estimated population of 3 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 25 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, ten Low population (Lo) worlds, and one Barren (Ba) world. The highest population world is Ooo (Gzaekfueg 2012). The population consists of 1 sophont groups.

History & Background (Dossier)
The Vilani had contact with the Gvegh, Aekhu and Logaksu before -2400 in regions such as Provence Sector, though the Vargr were initially seen more as a curiosity than a threat. The Vargr in turn learned of the vast, immensely wealthy, and militarily weak human empire, a temptation that was impossible for them to ignore. Within a few decades the Vargr were actively raiding Vilani settlements in Windhorn and Corridor Sectors. The Vilani in turn moved the majority of their defenses towards these areas.
Other Vargr racial groups (the proto-Irilitok, Ovaghoun, Suedzuk and Urzaeng) took longer to find a path around the coreward end of the Windhorn Rift, but when routes were eventually found they made a beeline for the poorly defended coreward edge of the Ziru Sirka and its riches. These regions, already stripped of their meager defenses to prop up sectors further to spinward, were easy prey for the new waves of Vargr. The vast distances the Vargr had to travel limited the numbers of raiders who actually reached the Ziru Sirka: substantially more Vargr found promising worlds en route and decided to settle them instead.
Ooo (Gzaekfueg 2012) works diligently at TL–9 to provide manufactured parts, components and other middling-tech needs to Dhillour in Teksuelats Subsector and hold onto what contracts it can as other shipyards increase their starship hulls completions.
Gadoeth features one starship shipyard Gvaeae (Gzaekfueg 2319), but at TL–8 this world is limited to mainly hulls without lanthanum jump grids and must sell at spaceship rates.
With Gadoeth riddled with both Naval Bases and Corsair Bases, the space lanes are very busy with trade convoys, naval escorts, naval patrols, piracy. A single Corsair Base has opted for legitimate service as Privateers out of Laedaerrgh (Gzaekfueg 1720).
