Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Faengfel 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.
The Khuulu Main
The subsector is dominated by the Khuulu Main, an important local trade route.
- It has 41 member systems.
- It forms the spinward frontier of the Opposition Alliance, a Vargr polity.
