Destiabr Subsector is Subsector C of Chiep Zhez Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is a wild and remote wilderness.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Destiabr Subsector is an unpopulated and undeveloped wilderness. Most worlds within the region have never had an intelligent being visit them.
- The resources of the subsector remain entirely untapped.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined:
- The subsector is a lower stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the unstable white subgiant primary of the Shtiapli system.
- There are two rift regions within the subsector.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Destiabr 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.
Rift Regions[edit]
Two rift regions lie within the subsector: the Destiabr Rift and a small part of the Serpent Rift.
- The Destiabr Rift dominates the center of the subsector.
- A part of the Serpent Rift lies in the rimward-trailing corner of the region.
- They are considered to be part of the Outer Voids, a distant region of the Idella Rift.
A simple map showing rift regions within Destiabr Subsector is shown right:
Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.
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.
- Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
Destiabr Nebula[edit]
The center of the subsector is dominated by the Destiabr Nebula, a huge planetary nebula centered on the Destiabr system.
- It lies within the Destiabr Rift.
- It's enormous cloud of gas and dust is more than 12 light years in diameter.
- Two tiny white dwarf stellar remnants lie at its center.

Borealis Group[edit]
The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to rimward-trailing.
- 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.
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Destiabr Subsector 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.
