Subsector Summary: 1116

Vorvoun, subsector B of Provence contains 33 worlds with an estimated population of 27 billion, a per capita income of Cr6,325, and a total economy is BCr170,821. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr5,612 through 33 starports (4 Class A, 21 Class B, 6 Class C, 2 Class D) employing 832,110 people. Driving this interstellar trade are five Agricultural (Ag) worlds, three Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, four Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, three Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, four Rich (Ri) worlds, and three Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Vorvoun maintain ten Naval bases, and four Corsair bases. The average technology level is 10 (with most between 8 and 11). The highest technology level is 14 at Vorvoun (Provence 1505).

Vorvoun, subsector B of Provence contains 44 stars and 366 identified planets; 22 monostellar systems, 11 binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 33 of the 33 systems (100%) have native gas giants. There are two Asteroid (As) belts, two Desert (De) worlds, one Garden (Ga) world, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, five Poor (Po) worlds, four Vacuum (Va) worlds, and two Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Vorvoun has an estimated population of 27 billion distributed across four High population (Hi) worlds, three Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 13 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, nine Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Aelues (Provence 1003), Knak (Provence 1304), Vorvoun (Provence 1505), and Aekaedho (Provence 1106). The population consists of 1 sophont groups.

History & Background (Dossier)

From 1115-1120, the Jihad of Faarzgaen invaded and enslaved three worlds: Ghaez-Larrgh (0903), Aedzuedza (0904), and Doughaerr (0906). By 1120, 75% of the population of Ghaez-Larrgh had either been enslaved or killed (Vilani & Vargr pg54). By 1121, the entire population of Aedzuedza had been killed. By 1122, the entire population of Doughaerr had either been enslaved or killed. The butchering and enslavement of Ghaez-Larrgh continued until only a few hundred thousand people remained. This became the breeder pool for future slaves.

In need of more "hard assets," the Jihad began to expand trailward in 1125. They began to attack Kugh (1002) and Aelues (1003). Gen Rungakh, the newly appointed regional governor, put a stop to it. As the first step towards re-integrating the two warring factions back into the Empire of Varroerth, further expansion had to be halted. Forced to fight a war on two fronts, the Jihad weakened. Although the Jihad resumed their attacks after the peace negotiations failed in 1131, they were not able to capture any other worlds before Virus wiped them out in 1135.

Local corsairs which traded with the Jihad of Faarzgaen often received unusual forms of payment: gems, precious metals, and even slaves. The bases at Viksougu (1009), Eg Orrou (1108), and Adhkfurral (1201) profited from this arrangement. Today, they're in bad shape. The base at Eg Orrou was completely wiped out by Virus. The downport at Viksougu came alive and kills anyone that tries to enter it. The support structure for the base in the mountains of Adhkfurral was blasted by Vampire ships. Those present fell with it as it slid down into the crushing pressures of the lower elevations. The population at Viksougu is 55 and the population at Adhkfurral is 85. Neither of these populations is large enough to sustain a healthy gene pool. Without an influx of Vargr, or escape, these populations will gradually die off.

Gunog (1405) formerly known as Ksarthangtsouts was once run by a restrictive almost stifling bureaucracy. In an effort to preserve some semblance of unity after the capital city sank, the surviving government officials drafted up several reforms. Each island was permitted to rule itself so long as those rules did not conflict with rules established by the world government. Representatives from the islands convene to run the world government. As noted by the drastic difference in pre- and post-Collapse law levels, there has been very little legislation enacted to curb the islands' freedom. As such, it has allowed the islands a chance to concentrate on rebuilding. So far, the inhabitants have not abused their new level of freedom.

Vorvoun (1505) has remained somewhat intact though nowhere near the level it once was. In recent years trade has resumed with a couple of other worlds: Kaengku (1605) and Farrurgneng (1403). A pair of survey vessels are scheduled to begin exploration of the Grnouf jump-1 Main from Aekaedho (1106) to Foukakh (2405) later this year (1202).
