- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is part of the Vargr Extents.
Description / Specifications
Kishadiku Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by both humans and Vargr. The name of the subsector is Vilani in origin and is also the original name for the sector, though the spelling has changed slightly. During the Ziru Sirka the region had billions of human inhabitants and its worlds were generally more technologically advanced.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
- Many worlds have Ziru Sirka-era ruins and remains on their surfaces.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Kishadiku Subsector:
- The subsector is an average stellar density region.
- There is no one significantly brighter star: the region contains many white main sequence stars of similar brightness.
- The subsector marks the furthest spinward point of the Nudashiir Lagani, the great Lishun-Gashikan Main.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Kishadiku 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.
The Nudashiir Lagani
A few worlds within rimward-trailing corner of the subsector lie on the Nudashiir Lagani, the great Lishun-Gashikan Main.
- An eclectic mix of vessels, both human and Vargr, work their ways along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
- The subsector lies on the far spinward end of the main.
- The trailing subsectors of Windhorn Sector are depicted central left.
- Worlds on the Main are highlighted in green.
World Listing
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
- 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Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.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 Timeline
Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:
- -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims and settles worlds across the region.
- -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
- -2404 to -2215: the human Interstellar Wars rage to rimward. The region becomes increasingly neglected.
- -2400s: Vargr raiding into the region significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
- -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man nominally administers the worlds of the region. Conflicts escalate between Vargr and humans as the Vargr occupy former Ziru Sirka territory.
- circa -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
- -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
- The Year 0: to rimward, the Third Imperium is founded.
- circa 26: the Empire of Varroerth is founded.
- 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts Windhorn Sector: small Vargr polities exist within the region.
- late 800s: the Ngath Confederation begins to form and gradually absorbs neutral worlds and smaller polities.
- 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the Sector. Few humans remain within the region.
- circa 1040: the 17th Disjuncture is founded and rapidly brings neutral worlds under its banner, directly competing with the Ngath Confederation.
- 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the sector becomes widely available.
- 1100: no non-rift neutral worlds remain within the region.
