Least Played in Subsector in the SM
- Thread starter Vargas
- Start date
Aside form the Zhodani zone, to wich few players venture, I guess the least used sector is probably Trin's Veil, as most adventures are played closer to the border (where less stable conditions are met).
Of course, this is only a personal opinion and experience, not necessarily representative of the Traveller players community.

I am running my campaign from Trin's Veil.
I wanted to have as much separation from other "things" which could distract my players until we could work out the bugs of not having played Traveller since the time of CT.

My guess would be Aramis, bog all there except religious dictatorships, Vargr raiding parties and fruit.
Unless you're playing the campaign in The Traveller Adventure.

Ah, which I don't have, not in hardcopy anyway, and I'm not going to print off 150 odd pages from the CD ROM. There are a few copies floating around on the net still, think one of them is even in the UK.
Oh well, not Aramis then. Lanth? Can't recall ever spending much time in the Lanth subsector, except to pass through it. Suppose there's Double Adventure 2... Oddly I think in the first Traveller game I played we tended to spend a lot of time in the Trin's Veil subsector.

For games starting in the Marches Aramis is kinda out of the way (at least we generally started on Regina) and largely inaccessible (for the usual J1 Free-Trader anway), though as noted it features in The Traveller Adventure.
District 268 would probably get my vote as the most backwater subsector. Notable only for its links of the Main. Though again I sort of recall an adventure or two set in it. I seem to recall that being a side point of the early adventures, dragging the players through every subsector

If the question which subsector we think is actually least used, I don't quite see how one would go about figuring it out. A process of elimination doesn't get me very far. I believe Regina and District 268 are the ones with most adventures written for them, with Aramis and (I like to think) the Sword Worlds close behind. After that I'd be hard pressed to divide the remaining 12 into the middle six and the bottom six, let alone select one for the bottom spot. Perhaps something like this: Middle six (in no particular order): Five Sisters, Mora, Darrian, Lanth, Glisten, Vilis. Bottom six (again in no particular order): Cronor, Querion, Jewell, Lanth, Lunion, Trin's Veil.
If the question is which one we each think the least interesting... well, that's a toughie. I can think of interesting adventures for every one of them. I've either written adventures for or have notes for adventures set in every one except Querion and Cronor, and that's just sheer happenstance.

Ah, I used Lanth in two places and forgot Rhylanor. Umm... Rhylanor is probably more active than Lanth.

I set up a whole campaign for it
...but never got to actually play it
It's choc-a-bloc full-o-fun. Zho, Imps, Vargr, Swordies... intrigue, mystery, fortunes to be made... or lost.

District 268 has Tarsus of course, subject of the first Module. Tended to have a lot of my characters originating on Tarsus.

I would go meet you in person and play tha-aaaaa, oh right, you're up in Saskatoon. Which is a thousand miles from me. (Or did you want me to be specific about how far?)
(The name Saskatoon always amuses me, even though I'm an adult.)

The Only Subsectors I haven't done anything with are chronor, querion and Trin's Veil.
Hmm. I think that gives me an idea

Querion.
Subtract the subsectors with a lot of Fifth Frontier War notes or Classic Adventures or Imperial Naval control due to possibly owning the Droyne urheimat, and you're left with Querion and Trin's Veil. And Trin's has interesting library data from TNE, and it's Imperial, so I'd say it's more "set" than Querion.
Querion seems like a true no-man's land to me, with little published about it.
So, Querion.
I consider Querion to be more similar to Foreven than the Marches. Just my wild opinion.

If you look at Traveller Map, yo can see that Querion, has indeed got more to do with Foreven than the Marches.
Also, as previously suggested Querion, Fessor and Reidian look like the subsectors to play in if you want some real, Imp, Zho, Darrian, Sword, Arden, Avalar action.
Just a shame that Foreven is a GM's presurve.
