Khuug Subsector is Subsector M of Verge Sector.
- Its systems are controlled by the Aslan Hierate.
- It is located within Charted Space.
Description (Specifications)
The subsector is a backwater with relatively little development compared to other regions of the Hierate.
- It lies on the edge of the Great Rift.
- It has been settled for centuries.
Astrographic Features
The following astrographic features and trade routes can be found within this subsector:
- It is a low stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the unstable red giant primary of the Khtis system.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Khuug 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.
Rifts and Voids
The subsector lies on the rimward edge of the Great Rift.
- The rift hinders travel and commerce within the region.
- It has placed a boundary on Imperial settlement and expansion within the area.

The nature and limits of the rift may be determined by different criteria in different regions.
- Generally, its boundaries are based on jump performance.
- Areas may traditionally be considered rift regions, even though all of their worlds are accessible to ships equipped with high performance drives.
World Listings
Comprehensive Second Survey UWP data for all worlds lying within the subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may contain contradictory or incorrect information.
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.

Subsector Summary
Khuug, subsector M of Verge contains 11 worlds with an estimated population of 6 billion, a per capita income of Cr2,872, and a total economy is BCr18,552. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr29 through 10 starports (1 Class A, 4 Class B, 5 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 3,405 people. Driving this interstellar trade are one Agricultural (Ag) world, two Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, two Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Khuug maintain two Clan bases. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 7 and 12). The highest technology level is 13 at Eiaai (Verge 0540) and Wyaakhuiahea (Verge 0640).
Khuug, subsector M of Verge contains 17 stars and 133 identified planets; five monostellar systems, six binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 8 of the 11 systems (72%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, one Desert (De) world, no Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, two Poor (Po) worlds, one Vacuum (Va) world, and three Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.
Khuug has an estimated population of 6 billion distributed across one High population (Hi) world, one Moderate population (Ph) world, two Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, five Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Yetatla (Verge 0637). The population consists of 1 sophont groups.
