Emma Subsector is Subsector N of Iphigenaia Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It lies within the Great Rift.
- On some star charts it may be named Treaty Subsector
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Emma Subsector is an unpopulated and empty wilderness.
- The older name is found on Solomani star charts dating to the Rule of Man, before the Long Night.
- What few resources the subsector has are completely untapped.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Emma Subsector:
- The subsector is a rift stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the orange main sequence primary of the Felox system.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Emma 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]
The Great Rift dominates the subsector.
- The rift extends to rimward for around 50 parsecs.
- Its rimward edge forms a natural boundary to the Aslan Hierate.
The Felox Spur is a chain of Jump-3 accessible systems extending from Riter Subsector
- The spur terminates at the Felox system.

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.
Aslan Exploration Route[edit]
The Aslan appear to have found a means of crossing the subsector.
The Aslan may have established an exploration route along the edge of the Great Rift.
- They appear to be using isolated systems and a hidden fuel cache, likely located within hex 2901 of Waoasi Subsector (Subsector D of Faoheiroi'iyhao Sector).
- If it really exists, the route relies on Jump-5 vessels.
Aslan would likely use the route to communicate with and supply their explorers, pioneers, and scattered outposts within the region.
- The existence of the route and the fuel cache have not been proven.
A simple map showing the likely Aslan exploration route along the Great Rift and into Theron Sector is shown right.
- Rift regions are shown in blue.
- Known Aslan outposts and settlements are ringed in red.
Borealis Group[edit]
The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to Spinward.
- 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: 1105[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Emma 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.
