Coriolis - are there any analogous subsectors in Charted Space>

Impressed with Free League's Coriolis game which is in many respects Traveller if the dominant culture colonising the setting was Arabic/Islamic rather than Anglo-American.

So is there any OTU subsector or sector with a bunch of Arabic/Persian/Turkish etc derived planet names where some of the Coriolis setting material could be transplanted?

Also has anyone tried Coriolis as a rules system for an OTU game?
 
Turks are well represented in Traveller.
It was a Turkish corporation that migrated to Darrian. It was Turkish explorers who first encountered the Aslan.
 
The Nomads of the World Ocean on Bellerophon are also identified as speaking a Turkish-descended language.

Given that thanks to the Keith Brothers we have whole sectors of space colonised by Scots you'd expect at least a pocket empire would exist somewhere settled by descendants of such a big segment of 21st century Terran humaniti.
 
Marrakesh (Be 2608) is a high-population, industrial world in the Beyond Sector, home to over four billion people. As the capital of the Islamic Republic of Marrakesh, it dominates its subsector both politically and economically, with a thriving manufacturing industry and rapidly growing economy. Located in a binary star system, Marrakesh has a tainted atmosphere, requiring filter masks, and a single supercontinent with harsh volcanic activity and dust storms. The planet boasts a Class B starport capable of ship repairs and construction, and operates at TL-8, featuring advanced vehicles, space shuttles, and early space stations. Governed by a religious dictatorship, Marrakesh follows Sufi Islamic principles, reflected in its conservative dress, festivals, and strict societal structure. Its wealth and strategic importance make it a key power in the region.
