* Dyrnwyn (1522) was not included in the list of Sword Worlds because all trade routes to it have to pass through the Border Worlds anyway. Although trade with Caladbolg (1329) through Orcrist (1126) and Bryn Avgrunn Base (1128) is likely to be significant, I decided that the Imperial world would not be included in the design process for political reasons.

† Enos (1130) can only be reached through Bryn Avgrunn Base (1128), usually either via Anduril (1026) or Orcrist (1126).

‡ While jump-2 traffic from/to Narsil (0927) through Excalibur can choose to stop over at either Anduril or Orcrist, jump-2 Narsil traffic via Bifrost must necessarily go through Anduril to save fuel.
