Description / Specifications

Natar subsector is named for the Natar system and its red bright giant primary star. The spinward and rimward regions of the Subsector are dominated by rift regions and contain mysterious "jump shoals", while its coreward and trailing regions are dotted with scattered systems. The Scybrian Run Star Lane, carrying huge amounts of interstellar trade, crosses the coreward edge of the Subsector. The Firstworlds occupies its coreward-trailing edge. Thele, a long-settled world with a rich heritage and history, is the de facto capital.
