Chiep Zhez Sector is a largely uninhabited wilderness region on the edge of Charted Space.
- It may also be referred to as Chiepl Zhez Sector
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Chiep Zhez Sector is a largely unpopulated wilderness lying on the far spinward edge of Charted Space.
- The resources of the sector are almost entirely untapped.
The sector was initially surveyed during the Imperial First Survey.
- First Survey primary data regarding the sector was very fragmented.
- The data drew heavily on the records and accounts of previous explorers within the region.
The sector was extensively surveyed during the Imperial Second Survey.
- A few IISS personnel based at Pautho, in Theta Borealis Sector, were able to personally gather limited amounts of data at great personal risk.
We salute their valor and honor the fallen. - Much of the updated data relating to the sector was based on remote long-term observations done over approximately 70 years (from 995 to 1065).
- Most of the output from these observations was automatically collated and generated and may occasionally contain errors.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Chiep Zhez Sector.
- 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 sector and far beyond.
Rifts & Voids[edit]
Large rift areas are very much characteristic of Chiep Zhez Sector, running generally from the coreward-trailing corner of the sector towards spinward-rimward.
A simple chart showing rift regions within Chiep Zhez Sector.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
The various rift regions within the sector have been named.
- The Iacha Void dominates the spinward-coreward quadrant of the sector.
- The Destiabr Rift, with its characteristic nebula, lies towards the central-coreward edge of the sector.
- The Serpent Rift slices through the central part of the sector, terminating to spinward and bisecting the region.
- The Marapagas Void and the Gulf of Dalevon lie along the rimward edge of the sector.
These scattered rift regions are considered to be part of the greater complex of rifts and voids that make up the Idella Rift.
The highest tech level commonly encountered out this Far Along (spinward of the Third Imperium) is TL–12, though a few worlds may be more advanced.
- This level of technology allows the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
- Locally, areas that cannot be routinely crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rift regions.
Destiabr Nebula[edit]
The Destiabr Nebula, a huge planetary nebula centered on the Destiabr system, is located on the coreward edge of the sector.
- It is at the heart of the Destiabr Rift.
- It is more than 12 light years in diameter.
- Two tiny white dwarf stellar remnants lie at its center.
Borealis Group[edit]
The trailing-rimward skies of Chiep Zhez Sector are dominated by the Borealis Group, a very large cluster of stars containing an unusually high number of giant stars.
- It primarily lies within Theta Borealis Sector.
- It is an astrographic feature visible across the whole of Charted Space.
- It is centered on the supergiant star Theta Borealis.
The skies within the region are spectacular. Some of the brighter stars can be seen from the surfaces of worlds during daylight hours.
Significant Stars
The brightest stars in the group are called the Borealean Stars. They include:
- Theta Borealis: A7 Ia Supergiant, Luminosity: 73,000 sols.
- Sigma Borealis: M9 II Bright Giant, Luminosity: 16,200 sols.
- Tau Borealis: M9 II Bright Giant, Luminosity: 16,200 sols.
- Kappa Borealis: A3 Ib Supergiant, Luminosity: 13,000 sols.
They are surrounded by more than sixty other giant and subgiant stars, some almost as bright as the named giants, as well as numerous main sequence stars and white dwarfs.
World Listings[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey UWP data for all worlds lying within Chiep Zhez Sector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.
