contents We investigate the mechanisms of strangeness production in the $π^- p \to K^{*0} Σ^0$ and $π^- p \to K^{*+} Σ^-$ reactions within a hybrid Regge framework in which effective Lagrangian vertices are combined with Reggeized exchanges. The nonresonant background consists of $t$-channel $K$- and $K^*$-Reggeon exchanges, $s$-channel nucleon and $Δ$ exchanges, and $u$-channel $Σ$- and $Λ$-Reggeon exchanges, whose roles differ markedly between the two isospin channels. We additionally include several $N^*$ and $Δ^*$ resonances in the $s$ channel and find that the $Δ(2150)1/2^-$ resonance provides the dominant near-threshold contribution. The resulting total and differential cross sections and spin-density matrix elements (SDMEs) are in good agreement with the available data. Additional measurements near threshold ($W \lesssim$ 2.5 GeV) would be valuable for clarifying the role of $s$-channel baryon resonances. Within the same framework, with Regge trajectories and energy-scale parameters fixed by a QGSM-motivated prescription, we also predict the cross sections for the charm-production reactions $π^- p \to D^{*-} Σ_c^+$ and $π^- p \to D^{*0} Σ_c^0$. Their total cross sections are suppressed by approximately $4$--$5$ and $7$--$8$ orders of magnitude, respectively, compared with those of the corresponding strangeness-production reactions. These results may serve as useful guidance for future experiments at facilities such as J-PARC.
