Naav Subsector

From Traveller Wiki - Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far future

Dominated by the Solomani Confederation with its subsector Capital at Naav(0103), Naav Subsector Spica Sector A was formally annexed by the Confederation after the Hive Federation's expansion within the sector. It has had settlements since Second Imperium times and saw development during the Long Night that other areas had not.

Ben Gunn (0610) is the home to a minor human race whose appendix is required to regulate the diet consisting of their world's native flora and fauna. For other humans, it would be difficult. The Bengunni's as they are known also have nictitating membranes which may protect their eyes from the major sandstorms which are seasonal on Ben Gunn. The name for them and their world is a reference for their relative backward tech level.

Milano (0608) had been home to a race whose priorities focused on topics of philosophic interest and ethical behavior. The self-labeled Shan attempted to cope with the Solomani expansion into Spica with a program of passive disobedience. The last Shan became extinct in the latter part of A.D. 5549 (1031 Imperial).

The fact the present-day Clan elder of Clan McCracken (0401) is a woman, her name Dana McCracken, makes their world a local favorite vacation spot for Gurvin members of the Hive Federation. The Gurvin, themselves matriarchal, find the McCrackens a noticeable exception to most human worlds.

The space habitat of Nagg'Astphay (0309) is quite a marvel to behold. The planet is theoretically the home of the Nagg'Ast, but there is no proof. As far as anyone knows, the habitat is non-mobile and remains in position because of its location in the planet's trailing Trojan point.

The Naav Subsector contains 25 systems with a known population of 7.549 billion sapients. The highest population known is 4.00 billion at Hyborea. The highest Tech Level known is B at Naav and Clan McCracken. The best Starports known are Type-A at Naav, Nadir, Clan McCracken, and Hyborea.
