Mowbrey subsector is a divided subsector. In the middle there is a jump-3 gap (The
Mowbrey Rift). The spinward worlds are more culturally and politically associated with
Anika subsector, and the trailing worlds more with the worlds of Fessor subsector. 

The total population of the 16 worlds of Mowbrey subsector is only 2.3 billion, with the
highest population of 860 billion at Robebi. The highest tech-level is only 11 at Fonda and
Ibrolelis. This is really a backwater subsector... 

Jason Mowbrey was a legendary Free Trader Captain and Independent Explorer, which
have given his name to this subsector. In the year 355 (234 years before the first frontier
war) he was the first one to cross what is known as The Mowbrey Rift. Five years later he
disappeared, and there are still numerous tales and rumours about what really happened.

Castica and Handor are two small countries on the balkanized world of Gatina. They have
invested in a common Fire Brigade for large industrial accidents. The AmberZone
