Efate High Orbit Inbound
You have now decelerated close to a full stop. A medium-sized blue planet cloaked in wisps of cloud fills your viewscreen. There are numerous orbital facilities and also many vessels of the 213th Fleet in orbit around the world. The main orbital port is Franklin Highport a very substantial facility. There are also several naval orbital installations, a sizeable IISS facility and the General Yards Orbital shipyards, among others.
You pick up a hailing signal “This is Franklin Highport System Traffic Control. Please confirm your identity, mission and state your destination.”

Regina Credo Down Customs and Passenger unloading
A smaller spaceport buggy and trailer pull alongside the starship hull, just for crew and passenger baggage. As the docking tunnel is attached to the hull, and the airlock opened, the first person through the tunnel is a uniformed official carrying an electronic tablet, asking to see the skipper.
Regina Credo Down Docking
As your engines power down, there is a pause, but soon the radio chatter continues, this time Regina port services are calling through. They ask you want services you need. A passenger bridge is a simple matter, with the automated docking tunnel extending from the side of the landing bay. But port services quickly ask you if you want unloading services straight away, if you want to refuel, inform you of berthing fees, and there are also the customs and immigration requirements to run through.

Querion Subsector/Spinward Marches
The Querion Subsector lies on the spinward edge of the Spinward Marches Sector and borders on the Fessor subsector of the Foreven sector. To coreward is the Cronor subsector, to trailing the Vilis subsector and to rimwatd the Darrian subsector. Six worlds in the subsector owe alligience to the Zhodani Consulate, three to the Darrian Federation, although these three worlds, known as the Entropic worlds have changed hands several times in the various Frontier Worlds and long been disputed with the Sword Worlds. The twelve other worlds in the Querion Subsector are either non-aligned or client states of the Consulate or the Imperium.
Aramis Subsector/Spinward Marches
The Aramis subsector lies ar the trailing and coreward edges of the Spinward Marches Sector, the Firgr subsector of the Gvurrdon sector lying to coreward, and the Pretoria subsector of the Deneb sector to trailing. The Regina subsector lies directly spinward and the Rhylanor subsctor is rimward.
Only six worlds in the subsector are connected to the Spinward Main, the great branching trade route of the Spinward Marches, and so the subsector overall is somewhat isolated from the rest of the sector, and indeed the Towers Cluster of eleven worlds to coreward have more connection through the Pretoria subsector with the Deneb sector than the rest of the Marches. Between the Towers Cluster and the worlds of the Spinward Main lies the 'Scatters', nine worlds all fairly isolated from one another.

Guide to Credo............................... Regina/Regina
Credo is a city with a population of xxx million, and is capital of the world of Regina, and so also effectively the capital of the Regina subsector.
The starport lies to the west of the city, and at its gates stands the Traveller's Aid Society, one of the largest facilities of its kind in the subsector, and including salons, lounges, bars, restaurants and a twenty storey hotel for members of this prestigeous Society. The Starport is bordered to the south by the dockyard area, in which lies the headquarters of the General Products megacorporation, and to the east by Credo's commercial port and Startown. To the west lies the Imperial Naval Base, and to the north the Imperial Scout base, and a little beyond that Regina's main passenger grav liner port.
Credo's Startown is a cosmopolitan, bustling area of shipbrokers, bars and cheap starfarer's hotels. To the north of the area is a business district which includes the headquarters of Turkera Lines, Sharurshid and the Oberlindes Corporation.
East of Startown lies the Tristar district, a mixed cosmopolitan area favoured by city workers and young professionals. Further east again is the Downtown area, the commercial centre of the city. The absolute centre of the city is considered Voltaire Plaza, a large paved open space surrounded by shops, restaurants, theatres and other entertainment centres. To the west of Voltaire Plaza is the commercial area, home to Credo's tallest building, the Sternmetal Horizon tower.

Regina Credo Down Arrival
You come into land above a large starport, next to a sprawling city on the shores of a blue ocean. A number of other spacecraft are taking off and landing, and everywhere all over the city gravcars flit, and fill the skies in long traffic lines. A number of high towers and skyscrapers punctuate the cityscape, some maybe a kilometer high.
The starport itself has several landing areas, some little clusters of landing pads for larger vessels, others lines of landing pads for smaller craft.
Once you have locked on to the traffic control system, there is little to do but follow the guidlines for your flight path projected as a Heads Up Display on to your viewscreen, accompanied by the reassuring chatter for your space traffic control, first asking to hold position, then clearing you for landing, and then guiding you down to your landing pad.

Regina High Orbit Inbound
You are now approximately 20,000 kilometers from the planet Regina, and it fills the viewscreen. It is a blue planet cloaked in white cloud, with glimpses of brown and green landmass peaking through the cloud cover.
There are a number of orbital installations present, the most important of which is Credo Highport, and spacecraft large and small flit between them, are set on outbound courses or await their turn to make planetfall.
The main starport on the planet surface, Credo Down, serves the capital city, not just of the planet and system, but also of the sub-sector.

Regina 10 dia Inbound
You are now 1.2 million kilometers from the gas giant, Assiniboa.
The gas giant has five moons. The innermost is Redes, then Printemps and Brumaire. Further out is Harcourt and Regina.
Entering the Heya System
There is a sudden flash of brilliant light from the ship's lanthanum grid, but as it fades the viewscreen shows the black of normal space once again, twinkling with distant stars.
The once you feed in the sensor readings, the nav computer confirms that you have successfully jumped into the Heya System.
Heya is a double star system with an orange giant and red dwarf companion. Both systems have planets, the primary has six planets, two of them gas giants, as well as four planetoid belts, while the companion has two gas giants. The main world Heya is third planet in the primary system, while he companion and its planets in fact orbits close to the primary star. Heya has three moons, none inhabited. There are eight inhabited worlds in total in the system.

Entering the Jenghe System
Orbiting a red main sequence star at a distance of 30 million kilometers, Jenghe is the first planet in the system. The system is a single star system, with a total of eight planets, including three gas giants and two planetoid belts. Jenghe itself has seven moons.
Entering the Uakye System
The flash of the jumpgrid slowly recedes and the system comes into view. Sensors confirm that you have arrived in the Uakye System.
Uakye is a single star system around a red main sequence star. There are just two planets in the system. Uayke is the innermost a tidally locked world in relatively close orbit to its dim star. It has no moons. The outermost planet Hammond has a single moon, Calypse. Both are inhabited. Two planetoid belts lie between the two planets. There are no gas giants in the system.
