Duchies of the Spinward Marches Sector

[aramis]

I never plunged far into 'Lorenverse'. GT was an interesting take on the Traveller Universe for me. I do find the CT verse the strongest pull for IMTU.

The whole assassination, virus etc...never appealed to me.

I usually run in the CT 1105-1115 era, but using MT rules. I have, however, enjoyed the mechanical consolidations made possible by MT for use in the 5FW. PC's as the cadre of a Marine Regiment, etc...

That said, MT didn't give any new labelled duchies.

Which means a fallback to Aramis is a county subsector, nominally answering to the duke at, Regina and Mora dukal subsectors, Jewell being subordinated to Regina (perhas a county, perhaps direct members of the "regina subsector"...
Aramis is a county and answers to the Duke at Rhylanor...

So I can find only 3 known explicit dukes (Mora, Rhylanor, Regina) in the Marches by non-GT sources. We have one county implied, and answering to one of the dukes. We have two districts which are not under a noble at all (Five Sisters aka 267, and 268).

District 268 hasn't even been properly annexed yet, it could be fun if someone wants to IMTU Sandbox it.

District 268 hasn't even been properly annexed yet, it could be fun if someone wants to IMTU Sandbox it.

The Regency annexes much of District 268, renaming it Plankwell Subsector. It is unclear that this is anything more than symbolic in even the short term, given that the 1248 map of the Marches shows the Regency shrinking already.

I appreciate the info dump... I never progressed beyond CT. I guess that makes me a stick in the mud.

Not really. Each era and edition encourages a particular set of campaign models. No one has to like them all.

I'm putting together a Library Data Tiddlywiki for my current game (for when my players eventually get to a Library Data terminal -- I'm starting with Flatlined, so it'll be a while) and realized such a program, sold in the Spinward Marches, would probably include some information on the various government leaders of the area.

I like GURPS: Nobles. Canonically the Dukes include Norris, Delphine, and Leonard (MegaTraveller 2: The Zhodani Conspiracy had extensive oversight by Marc Miller, so I consider it canonical). I'll use G:N as well so I have a decent list.

SUBSECTOR RULERS (Spinward Marches):
Regina: Aledon Family (Current: Norris Aella) - [Numerous Sources]
Rhylanor: Kirgashii Family (Current: Leonard Stephanos) - [GT Nobles; MT2 The Zhodani Conspiracy]
Lunion: Jesten Family (Current: Luis Adorania) - [GT Nobles]
Mora: Muudashir Family (Current: Delphine Adoriana) - [Numerous Sources]
Five Sisters: Unknown - [T5SS Data - Iderati is Ducal seat; although CT had suggested that there were few nobles here and Naval Administration]
Glisten: Muktheswara Family (Current: Avaraja Astaarte) - [GT Nobles]
Trin: Arahailli Family (Current: Miraii Aban) - [GT Nobles]

One thing I really liked was the excerpt in G:N of Urquhart's Peerage for Arbellatra that heads up chapter 6 on page 88. I'd love to have the same for the others, but that's going to take some work. There are good ones for Norris and Delphine on the wiki; the rest I'll have to noodle around with. I feel like, this is the sort of thing Library Data would license from Urquhart's Peerage, at least for the guys in charge of the sector people are buying the Library Data program in. They want stuff for another one (like, say Deneb or Trojan Reach), they can pay another KCr300.

 

[Commander Truestar]

I admit I wanted to keep my TU as Canon as possible.
But, the fact I ran into very early on was that the GDW crew wanted us to build from our own imaginations
That meant they gave us a handful examples at varying levels and then hoped we'd become hooked on building our own.

And, I do that, while being ready to RetCon items that suddenly get a Canon reference published.
So, for me, I have the following:
Imperial Family
Emperor Strephon Aella Alkhalikoi
Empress Iolanthe
The Grand Princess Ciencia Iphegenia Guuilbataasgullibaa Alkhalikoi, Heir to The Iridium Throne

Celepina Imp Knowin, Count Celepina

Based on the footnote of the Patent of Nobility on page 21 of Marc Miller's Guide to Classic Traveller, we have Contessa General Sir Aia, of Celepina, Marquis Celepina, Baroness Zivije, OEG. I've decided on "Aia Rancke Knowln, Contessa of Celepina" IMTU, married to Marc hault Hamil (because I'm a massive nerd, and by 1120 the Count of Celepina is Steros Hamil Knowln per GURPS: Nobles).

It occurs to me, I could post the writeup I made for her for my game.

Contessa General Sir Aia Rancke Knowln, 17th Contessa of Celepina, Marquis Celepina, Baroness Zivije, C.E.G..

2. Natha Hamil Knowln (born 009-1082).

So, I was rereading The Traveller Adventure (1983), and noticed in the "Patrons" chapter, the patron on page 65-66 titled "Pyramids, Patron: Professor".

The group is approached by a well-dressed gentleman who is engaged in cataloging the occurrence of pyramids in the Aramis subsector, much as he has already done in the Regina and Rhylanor subsectors. Although he can prove a connection with the Imperial University at Rhylanor, he hastens to point out that this project is privately funded and is not sponsored by the university in any way. He is looking for any evidence of pyramids in this subsector and has a hypothesis that they are a consistent remnant of an interstellar society pre-dating known history...

After some time (throw 7+ per week), the professor will confide some of his background, including the fact that his brother is Duke of Rhylanor.

I find it amusing that we have earlier, more-canonical information about Dr. William Stephanos Kirgashii, the professor brother of Duke Leonard Stephanos Kirgashii, than we have about Duke Leonard himself.

In my initial read of the adventure Cirque, I got the impression it sometimes refers to the Duke of Rhylanor as "Duke Leonard" and other times as "Duke Stephen." Am I misremembering?

 

[Dulinor]

I find it amusing that we have earlier, more-canonical information about Dr. William Stephanos Kirgashii, the professor brother of Duke Leonard Stephanos Kirgashii, than we have about Duke Leonard himself.

But we don't know his name!

 

[whulorigan]

In my initial read of the adventure Cirque, I got the impression it sometimes refers to the Duke of Rhylanor as "Duke Leonard" and other times as "Duke Stephen." Am I misremembering?

No you are not misremembering. In GT:Nobles he is Duke Leonard Stephanos Kirgashii.

I am presuming that "Duke Stephen" is a simple mistaken substitution of "Stephen" for "Stephanos" (unless Stephen was the predecessor of Leonard; ~IY1105 or 1112 vs. 1120).

 

[warwizard]

Then we have the T5 jumpstarter patents of nobility awards, wherin several of us got dukedoms.

 

[AlHazred]

Yes, but Marc has said they could be from any time period, universe, or whatever, and shouldn't be considered canonical for the OTU. Nevertheless, there's an excel sheet that tries to track them so that there can be a "Milieu Jumpstarter," which I think is a great idea.

I am presuming that "Duke Stephen" is a simple mistaken substitution of "Stephen" for "Stephanos" (unless Stephen was the predecessor of Leonard; ~IY1105 or 1112 vs. 1120).

Me, too. He's definitely referred to as "Duke Leonard" in MT2: The Zhodani Conspiracy, which Marc was heavily involved with.

I really wish they'd done MT3: Unknown Worlds. I was looking forward to it.

I'm working on writing up short bios for all of the Dukes and a few lesser lights (Contessa General Sir Aia, above, probably Marquis Leonard Bolden-Tukera of Aramis, maybe a few other Counts and Marquises). Looking at the extremely brief information on Duke Leonard, what do we think his career path was? I put Aia as an Imperial Marine (because that's badass), and we know Norris was Naval Intelligence. I think of Delphine as straight Aristocrat, possibly some Merchant. Leonard is a mystery -- he actively worked on the defense of the subsector, so maybe Navy? Other than his avid bicycling, I'm not sure we have a lot of details to give any firm impressions...
