Antideluvia Subsector is subsector I of Far Frontiers Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It falls within the Zhodani Shadow.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Antideluvia Subsector is a region of Balkanized Space partly controlled by the Salinaikin Concordance. Many of its worlds remain fiercely independent.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Antideluvia Subsector:
- The subsector is an average stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Kretakios system.
- Some charts reference a star system within Interstellar Hex 0221 known as Irobob.
- This system does not exist: Irobob is in fact the secondary and tertiary components of the Carcosa system
- This appears to be an astrographic survey error dating from the Imperial First Survey.
The following astrographic features and trade routes can be found within this area:
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Antideluvia Subsector, right:
- 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.
Borealis Group[edit]
The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to Spinward-rimward.
- 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.
The Borealis Group contains significant amounts of gas and dust that reflects and refracts the light of the stars, giving it an ethereal glow.
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Antideluvia subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Verified updated data is constantly sought.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
