Khaeaw Sector lies on the very edge of the Great Rift.

• It is part of Charted Space.
• The Zhodani know it as Iaelche Sector.
• It is a frontier area with limited development, though many of its systems have been settled.

Description (Specifications)

Khaeaw Sector lies on the far spinward edge of Charted Space. It is an almost entirely rift density region, lying within the Great Rift, with a scattering of stars across the coreward subsectors which become denser towards spinward. The region has seen relatively extensive settlement by scattered Ihatei Aslan, and it contains both Burugdi and human outposts originating from within Theta Borealis Sector.

• The resources of the sector are for the most part untapped.

The sector was initially surveyed during the Imperial First Survey.

• First Survey primary data regarding the sector was very fragmented.
• The data drew heavily on the records and accounts of previous explorers within the region.

The sector was extensively surveyed during the Imperial Second Survey.

• A few IISS personnel based at Pautho, in Theta Borealis Sector, were able to personally gather limited amounts of data at great personal risk.
  We salute their valor and honor the fallen.
• Much of the updated data relating to the sector was based on remote long-term observations done over approximately 70 years (from 995 to 1065).
• Most of the output from these observations was automatically collated and generated and may occasionally contain errors.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105

The following astrographic and commercial data regarding the sector has been determined:

Summary

• Stellar Distribution
  • Borealis Group
• Rifts and Voids
• Clusters and Traces

Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Astron Sector.

• 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.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).

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 sector and far beyond.

Borealis Group

The coreward skies of Khaeaw Sector are dominated by the Borealis Group, a very large cluster of stars containing an unusually high number of giant stars.

• It primarily lies within Theta Borealis Sector.
• It is an astrographic feature visible across the whole of Charted Space.
• It is centered on the supergiant star Theta Borealis.

The skies within the region are spectacular. Some of the brighter stars can be seen from the surfaces of worlds during daylight hours.

Significant Stars
The brightest stars in the group are called the Borealean Stars. They include:

• Theta Borealis: A7 Ia Supergiant, Luminosity: 73,000 sols.
• Sigma Borealis: M9 II Bright Giant, Luminosity: 16,200 sols.
• Tau Borealis: M9 II Bright Giant, Luminosity: 16,200 sols.
• Kappa Borealis: A3 Ib Supergiant, Luminosity: 13,000 sols.

They are surrounded by more than sixty other giant and subgiant stars, some almost as bright as the named giants, as well as numerous main sequence stars and white dwarfs.

Rifts & Voids

A simple chart showing rift regions within Khaeaw Sector.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).

The sector lies almost entirely within the Great Rift.

The highest tech level commonly encountered out this Far Along (spinward of the Third Imperium) is TL–12, though a few worlds may be more advanced.

• This level of technology allows the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
• Locally, areas that cannot be routinely crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rift regions.

Aslan Exploration Route

The Aslan may have established an exploration route along the coreward edge of the Great Rift, bypassing the heavily populated and potentially hostile human dominated worlds of Theta Borealis Sector.

• They appear to be using hidden fuel caches, likely located within hex 1705 of Styehfyeao Subsector (Subsector C of Khaeaw Sector) and hex 2604 of Ihohea Subsector (Subsector D of Khaeaw Sector).
• If it really exists, the route relies on Jump-5 vessels.

The route extends to spinward from Theron Sector

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

• Rift regions are shown in blue.
• Known Aslan outposts and settlements are ringed in red.
• Collaborating human worlds are ringed in green.

Aslan would likely use the route to communicate with and supply their explorers, pioneers, and scattered outposts within the region.

• The existence of the route and the fuel cache have not been proven.

Clusters & Traces

A single cluster of stars lies within the sector:

• The Hloeaoaa Bubble, located within Hloeaoaa Subsector.

Comprehensive Second Survey UWP data for all worlds lying within Khaeaw Sector is available.

• The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
• Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
• Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
• Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.

AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:

Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

History & Background (Dossier)

Khaeaw Sector is a very lightly populated and largely undeveloped frontier. A few Burugdi groups trade with the Aslan and cooperate with their research efforts on the rift edge. Some of the worlds within the region have never had an intelligent being visit them.
