Ring Pact

by Eamon Watters

The Kandra subsector is home to the Ring Pact, a Defence and Trade organisation sponsored by the Hive Federation. Each member has it's own needs and plans, but despite these centrifugal forces the Pact has held over the ten years of it's existence.

Member Worlds

Strom (1132) Strom controls the following systems:

Exit (1134) - This cemetery world is controlled by the military, and contains a Hiver Staging Base.
Vizier (1233)- This cemetery world has a frontier starport to support trade along the Elan Main.
Slider (1334)
Dodo(1335) - Formerly known as Elan, this thin-atmosphered world perished in the collapse. It's numerous relics provided a boon to Strom, and to a lesser extent her neighbours. There are still recovery missions underway here, but the tempo is much less than when the Tech Rush started in 1147. this world has always been a sore point with Strom's neighbours, and even though it has been opened to outsiders, who need Dodo's TL-A equipment less and less, it still rankles.

Leroy (1231)

Yoryunssoy (1235)

Leenitakot (1432)

Gammist (1435) Gammist claimed some nearby systems in response to Strom's expansion.:

Murmur (1436)
Kearsage (1536) - This cemetery world serves only as a refuelling point for the Jump-1 traffic on the Elan Main.

Kervid (1532)

Gamvina (1632) Gamvina's colonies are:

Sharina (1733) - The only reason to visit this cemetery world is to use the Scout Base located here. The Gamvina government hopes to use it to gain riches recovering relics from the worlds of the Pusan-Bruia main. There have been some notable successes, but recently ships have been disappearing in the rimward section of the Main.
Nerkaal (1634) - This world is a link in the Jump-1 trade through the Elan Main.

Driank (1635) - A cemetery world, this system is only important because of the Ring Pact Naval Base located here. A squadron of Hiver and Pact ships make sweeps of the surrounding space from here. Many people consider it the best achievement of the Pact so far.
