Golden Horn

Golden Horn
Location:	Calypso Deeps
Star Systems:	12
Nations:	Callwood Heinlein

The Golden Horn is a group of 12 star systems located within the Calypso Deeps. The subcluster includes two colonized systems and two countries, the Heinlein Colonial Republic and the Republic of Callwood. Both of these states are classified as non-legacy nations, emerging entirely in the post-Earth era.

Etymology

On Earth, the Golden Horn was a major waterway connecting to the Bosphorous Strait at the point where it met the Sea of Marmara. These three bodies of water bounded the peninsula constituting "Old Istanbul".

Astrography

The Golden Horn is situated trailward of the Magellan Subcluster and rimward of the Encruzilhada Subcluster.

Translight Strings

There are a total of 15 charted translight strings connecting the 12 star systems of the Golden Horn. Many of the translight strings of the Golden Horn are weak and unstable, particularly those 11 strings connecting to the seven star systems between Callwood and Heinlein. The Sparrow system is the subcluster's centermost nexus, with four strings converging there. The Callwood system, likewise, acts as a nexus on the subcluster's coreward most edge, with four strings converging there.
