Gembolia Subsector is Subsector D of Astron Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is a wild and remote wilderness.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Gembolia Subsector is a largely unpopulated and undeveloped wilderness. Some worlds within the region have never had an intelligent being visit them.
- Its systems comprise part of the Outer Loop, a ring of jump-3-accessable systems that surround the Hudson Expanse rift region.
- The resources of the subsector are for the most part untapped.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Gembolia Subsector:
- The subsector is a relatively low stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the yellow main sequence primary of the Liafniabr system.
- There are multiple rift regions within the subsector.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Gembolia 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.
Rift Regions[edit]
Two rift areas lie within the subsector: the Gembolian Void and the Hudson Expanse.
- The Gembolian Void projects into the coreward part of the subsector.
- The Hudson Expanse occupies the spinward-rimward region of the subsector.
- They are considered to be part of the Outer Voids, a distant region of the Idella Rift.

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.
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.
- Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
Borealis Group[edit]
The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to rimward.
- It is a huge cluster of stars centered on the supergiant Theta Borealis.
- It is a distinctive astrographic feature that can be observed from all across Charted Space.
World Listing: 1105[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Gembolia Subsector 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[edit]
Gembolia Subsector is a remote backwater with limited activity and little development within its borders.
- Small numbers of Zhodani traders, explorers, and scouts may travel between its worlds.
Polity Listing: 1105[edit]
No polities are known to exist within (or make any claim upon) the subsector.
Native Sophonts (NILs): 1105[edit]
The following races (sophont species) are believed to have originated in this subsector:
- Nibammer of Gembolia. Industrious, efficient, subterranean herbivores with tough pill-shaped bodies from a cold tidally locked world.
Demographics: 1105[edit]
Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within the subsector:
- Non-Human Races
- Nibammer: 2 billion on one world.
