Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined:
Borealis Group
The subsector forms part of the Borealis Group, a gigantic, broadly spherical cluster of stars centered on Theta Borealis Sector.
- It is a distinctive, extremely bright feature that can be easily observed from all across Charted Space.
- It is more than 40 parsecs in diameter.
- It contains an unusually high number of giant stars.
- It is the density of giant stars within the region, rather than their individual brightness, that makes the feature so prominent.
The night-time skies of all of the worlds across the region are studded with a panoply of colorful, intensely bright stars.
- Some are so bright that they can be clearly seen from planetary surfaces during daylight hours.
- The brightest is Theta Borealis, an unstable, violent, blue-white bright supergiant with a luminosity of around 73,000 sols.
- Other extremely bright stars within the cluster include Sigma Borealis, Tau Borealis, Epsilon Borealis, Mu Borealis, and Kappa Borealis.
- While the cluster contains many extremely luminous giant stars, Theta B is exponentially brighter than any of the others.
Chains of giant stars trail out from the cluster into many of the surrounding sectors.
- Borealis Kantel Subsector lies to rimward of the clusters core, forming part of a long outlying trail of giant stars.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Borealis Kantel 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.
(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 subsector and far beyond.

Subsector Summary: 1105
Borealis Kantel, subsector N of Theta Borealis contains 24 worlds with an estimated population of 44 billion, a per capita income of Cr1,473, and a total economy is BCr64,978. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr70 through 21 starports (4 Class A, 8 Class B, 6 Class C, 3 Class D) employing 8,185 people. Driving this interstellar trade are three Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, two Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Borealis Kantel maintain one Scout base, and one Naval base. The average technology level is 7 (with most between 5 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Katzebue (Theta Borealis 1337) and Victoria (Theta Borealis 1433).
Borealis Kantel, subsector N of Theta Borealis contains 34 stars and 247 identified planets; 17 monostellar systems, five binary systems, one trinary system, and one system with four or more stars. 12 of the 24 systems (50%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, no Desert (De) worlds, three Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, four Poor (Po) worlds, one Vacuum (Va) world, and one Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) world.
Borealis Kantel has an estimated population of 44 billion distributed across two High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, ten Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, ten Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Snowdon (Theta Borealis 1031). The population consists of 2 sophont groups including one native sophont.
