Dusa Subsector is Subsector I of Vland Sector.

• It forms part of the Imperium, lying within the Domain of Vland.
• It is located within Charted Space.

Description

Dusa Subsector (Vland) has no subsector government of its own, with its scattered worlds administered from adjoining areas.

• The rift systems were only colonized in recent centuries. The Imperium has not considered it necessary to change their governmental status.

Astrographic Features

The following astrographic features and trade routes can be found within this subsector:

• It is a very low stellar density region.
• The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Niirka system.
• A few of the subsector's rimward worlds lie on the Vilani Main.

Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Dusa 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.

The Vilani Main

The Vilani Main, the mighty trade artery of the Ziru Sirka, includes those systems lying on the rimward edge of the subsector. The other worlds within its borders, lying within the Great Rift, are correspondingly backward and underdeveloped.

• High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
