Cepheus Setting 1: Subsector

I made some revisions on that last jump map and outlined the subsector.

By chance the subsector's two class-A starports are right next to each other, and they're pretty close to the center. The orange dotted lines denote regular or semi-regular commercial/passenger traffic.

Shénnóng is a high-pop industrial world, overdeveloped, polluted, controlled by rival megacorporations whose decadent executives squeeze productivity out of their workers.

Izanami is an arid world with an unbreathably thin atmosphere, but it's an abundant source of [some valuable heavy metal]. No one gains political power on this world who is not either part of, or a major contributor to, the mining guild.

Yemoja is 97% water, limited to small chains of volcanic islands. For centuries it has been ruled by the five families.

Lofoten once hosted the most impressive shipyard in the subsector, but no starships have been built there for at least a hundred years.

When the Federation collapsed -- it's been at least a hundred years now -- many worlds fell off the trade lanes. Certainly no ship with news from Earth has visited any world in this subsector for as long as anyone can remember. Those living in the more cosmopolitan worlds probably know little about the planets out on the edge of this subsector, let alone the birthplace of humankind.

Next steps: hooks. What's going on around here?
