Querion Subsector: Subsector E of the Spinward Marches. The Querion subsector is a remote frontier region, sparse in worlds and difficult for many commercial ships to pass through. Nearly the entire subsector is claimed by the the Zhodani Consulate, although only a handful of worlds at its coreward edge are actually under Zhodani rule.
Both the Sword Worlds and the Darrian Confederation lay claim to the triple worlds of Winston (0620 Spinward Marches E887573-6), Anselhome (0820 Spinward Marches C110588-8), and Entrope (0720 Spinward Marches E336AAA-C). The Imperium backs Darrian claims; the Zhodani Consulate backs the Sword Worlds claim. The Sword Worlds have occupied the three worlds since the end of the Third Frontier War.
The Imperium established a research station in the Retinae (0416 Spinward Marches E8C69AA-5) system in 556; at that time the system was part of the Imperium. Despite the relinquishment of the system (along with all other possessions in the subsector) in 986, the research station has been maintained, and is a source of continual friction with the Zhodani. The Imperial Navy maintains a courier route with the Imperial frontier at Frenzie (1116 Spinward Marches A200436-A) via Thanber (0717 Spinward Marches B243653-C).
Extensive lanthanum deposits have been reported at Bael (0218 Spinward Marches E200100-8).
Asmodeus (0512 Spinward Marches E596400-4) is reported to be recovering from a nuclear war which ended in 1005. -spin SMC

Qevar (0731 Deneb A2326AE-F): Qevar's atmosphere allows water to change from ice to vapor with only a brief liquid state. The vapor in the atmosphere gives Qevar a brilliant luster when seen from space. Liquid water is prized; only the dictator and his nobles are allowed more than their needs. Noble status can be achieved with years of hard work and study - some few commoners occasionally manage it. Nobles are required to treat commoners fairly, but death is a common legal penalty. -den TD 19

Quafe (1007 Diaspora C433267-D): This colony world is owned by the second most powerful faction on Libert, CommerStar Industries, Limited. Quafe is trying to resist the factionalism which has overrun Libert. On-site CommerStar representatives are trying to gain more control of Quafe's governing body, the Consulgruppe. This has led to increased friction with the locals, and talk of secession is becoming commonplace. -AGD
