Revision as of 23:14, 18 July 2016
A grouping of systems, forming a chain of worlds, all reachable by a Jump-1 capable starship.
- Please see Rift for a related article.
- Please see Astrography and Charted Space for related information.
Description (Specifications)
This grouping provides a sort of “corridor” allowing jump-1 capable ships to travel to any world along the chain without ever exceeding jump-1.
- Usually a Main encompasses 50 or more systems.
- For ease of reference the main may be broken into arms, or branches.
- Smaller groups of systems, between 5 and 50, all reachable by jump-1 are referred to as a trace or cluster.
History & Background
Many such groupings of worlds exist in the Charted Space.
Mains and branches
Star systems on long (51 or more stars) mains. Frequently are separated into arms or branches for identification purposes.

Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)
No information yet available.
Transportation Mains of Charted Space: 1116
Key
- Yellow Dots: Star systems on long (51 or more stars) mains. High economic and trade activity.
- Corresponds with: Greater Mains (Blue & Cyan Lines: 51+ destinations BTN: 11-12+)
- Blue Dots: Star systems on short (11 - 50 stars) mains. Moderate economic and trade activity.
- Corresponds with: Lesser Mains (Green & Yellow Lines: 11-50 destinations BTN: 9-10)
- Green Dots: Star systems not on any main (0 - 10 stars). Low economic and trade activity.
- Corresponds with: Micro Mains (Red & Pink Lines: 0-10 destinations BTN: 7-8)
- No trade routes BTN 1-6
- Red Lines: borders. Political borders.
- Bright Blue Grid: sector borders. Organizational borders.
- Dim Blue Grid: subsector borders. Organizational borders.
