Iyarl Subsector is Subsector H of Iphigenaia Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It was formerly known as Trailbreak Subsector.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Iyarl Subsector was a backwater with a few scattered settlements until less than a century ago.
- The original name dates back to the Rule of Man, before the Long Night.
- Aslan Ihatei have claimed and occupied a few worlds along the coreward edge of the subsector.
- The area serves as an Aslan migration route from Touchstone Sector.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited by the Aslan but remain largely untapped.
- Much of the region remains as uninhabited wilderness.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Iyarl Subsector:
- The subsector is a lower stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the red bright giant primary of the Pren system.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Iyarl 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 so-called False Rift.
- The rift lies along the very rimward edge of the subsector.
- Though it is marked as a hazard to navigation, the rift is smaller than what is considered to be the minimum size for such a feature.
- The subsector lies close to the edge of the Great Rift: the False Rift is considered to be an isolated element of that larger structure.

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 Spinward.
- 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 Iyarl 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.
Subsector Summary: 1105[edit]
Note that this section is awaiting an AAB Internal Records update.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Throughout almost all of its history, the subsector has been wilderness, very occasionally visited by explorers and scouts from the civilized worlds of the Vanguard Reaches and Touchstone Sector.
In the 1000s increasing numbers of Aslan explorers and pioneers were active in the area.
During the 1060s, an Aslan Ihatei fleet, carrying many millions of immigrants, passed through the subsector. The newly formed Aslan Kyatulyare Vassal State laid claim to a few of its coreward worlds.
Its trailing worlds continue to serve as an Aslan migration route, as idealistic Second Sons make their way to the wild coreward frontier to win honor and glory.
Polity Listing: 1105[edit]
The following polities can be found within this subsector:
- Aslan Hierate Kyatulyare Vassal.
- Kyatulyare is the Aslan name for Iphigenaia Sector.
Native Sophonts (NILs): 1105[edit]
No races (sophont species) are believed to have originated within this subsector.
Demographics: 1105[edit]
Significant populations of the following races (sophont species) reside within this area:
- Aslan: 3.697 million over four worlds.
- Humaniti (Human Races)
- Varied origins: 2.4 million on one world.
- At least 50% were born within the subsector.
- A significant percentage are not there voluntarily.
- Varied origins: 2.4 million on one world.
The principal Aslan Clans active in the region are the Seieakh and the Aokhalte.
The human population of the subsector arrived as part of the Aslan migration into the area.
