Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Aegaek 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.
World Listing[edit]
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Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.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.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
During the Long Night Khouth Subsector in Corridor Sector, lying directly to rimward-trailing, was an industrial powerhouse and the center of a number of trade networks. Various powers and interests within the region deliberately sought to dominate trade, limiting Corsair raiding within the area, quietly supporting local navies, and also maintaining a strong industrial base, though harsh practises and hard conditions were normal. Aegaek Subsector fell under Khouth's influence, with few Vargr settling there and its worlds remaining backward or barren. The powers within Khouth are rumored to have razed settlemets, if they were discovered in the area, and sanctioned massacres.
The population explosion in the extents during the later Long Night and first century saw waves of new arrivals in Aegaek subsector, many heavily armed and looking to carve their names among the stars. Khouth, long in decline and preoccupied with other issues, could do little. Its own richness hastened its fall: the presence of so much potential plunder brought increasing numbers of adventurers and treasure-seekers, allowing the Ksekgizoksdhaerzluenoe to form in Million Subsector of Deneb Sector and ultimately sparking the Vargr Campaigns.
Polity Listing[edit]
The following polities lie within the subsector:
Other powers:
- Balkanized Space
- Non-Aligned, Vargr-dominated worlds.
- Zegzaen, a rich agricultural world noted for its production of plant-based products.
