From publisher blurb:
Is this where you meet your fate?
Ashima Subsector is named for a Semitic goddess of fate and, like all the subsectors in Earth Sector, the names were given long before anyone went into these areas much less settled them. However, here, the name has been rather appropriate.
Originally, most thought that the Argentinians would end up dominating this subsector, but that was not to be. Others thought the United States might move aggressively into the
subsector, but that never happened. Some thought Nigeria would do the same as would Australia but, in the end, nine of the systems of Ashima Subsector would remain independent. Argentina, the United States, Australia, and Nigeria each hold only one system while Israel, a late arrival to interstellar colonization, holds four.
Ashima Subsector is a mix of colonies held by nation-states and independent worlds. Often used as a gateway into the Sacrament Sector frontier, many still come to the subsector for opportunity.
Filled with system maps, world maps, and physical data for each world, this book is a treasure trove of information for Referees who want to take their Earth Sector adventures further afield or for those who simply want a variety of worlds for their uses. Government, legal, cultural, and population details will assist the Referee in painting a picture of each world for their players.
