Saerrgh Subsector is Subsector B of Tuglikki Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is part of the Vargr Extents.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Saerrgh Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by Vargr.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
- From Arrghoun, "saerrgh" translates as "teacher".
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Saerrgh Subsector:
- The subsector is a standard stellar density region.
- It contains one rift area: the Sogae Void.
- The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Aes Luengal system.
- No major trade routes cross the subsector.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Dokh Subsector.
- The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
- The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.

Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.
- Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
- Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.
Rift Regions[edit]
One rift area lies within the subsector: the Sogae Void.
- The Void lies along the coreward edge of the subsector.

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.
The boundaries of rifts were established centuries ago, when the highest commonly encountered tech level was TL–12.
- This level of technology allowed the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
- Areas that couldn't be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels were denoted as rifts.
This traditional definition of rift regions remains in use today, despite modern high performance starships easily being able to cross them.
Dokh Cluster[edit]
Two worlds on the spinward-rimward edge of the subsector are members of the Dokh Cluster. It is a small Main.
- It has 14 member systems.
- A number of its coreward systems are members of the Bakne Alliance.
Its member worlds have all declared themselves to be members of the Society of Equals, a Vargr polity in Gvurrdon Sector, including those systems currently under the political dominion of the Bakne Alliance. They share a cultural heritage with the Society as well as many of that state's broad political and ethical views.
- Through reasons of practicality most remain as non-incorporated members (effectively neutral worlds).

- Worlds lying within the Cluster are highlighted in tan.
World Listing[edit]
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may contain contradictory or incorrect information.
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.
