Gentlesophonts:
I've been asked to post some info on a 3D subsector. The following is
reprinted from *Melbourne Times* #3:
Starfield: Fomalhaut Subsector (K-III)
Named for its brightest star at hex 2322.22 the Fomalhaut Subsector contains 33
worlds. The highest population is 800 million at Tabora. The highest tech
level is 13 at Okhotsk and Ibadan.
Fomalhaut is one of the core subsectors surrounding Earth which is just one
parsec to coreward of hex 1720.19. The Commonwealth enjoys much influence in
the subsector, maintaining naval bases at Nifflheim and Canyon and scout bases
at several other independent worlds. The Ouroran Community is somewhat less
influential in Fomalhaut but does maintain scout bases at Nuevo Chaco and
Nunavut which also hosts a Commonwealth scout base.
Most worlds in the subsector are non-aligned. Eight worlds claim allegiance to
the Commonwealth of Earth to coreward in Sirius Subsector. A single world,
Goias, claims allegiance to the Ouroran Community to rimward in Ourora
Subsector.
Tabora, the populous rich world, and Marduk, a rich, agricultural world are
chief in importance in the subsector. Trabzon and the breadbaskets Okhotsk,
Maka and No Cha are also important worlds.
