Fulani Sector lies rimward of the Zhodani Consulate, towards the spinward edge of explored space.
- It is part of Charted Space.
- The Zhodani know it as Chtedrdia Sector.
- It is a frontier area with little development that has never been fully explored.
Description[edit]
Fulani Sector is a largely unpopulated wilderness lying on the spinward edge of Charted Space.
- The resources of the sector are for the most part untapped.
The first modern interstellar explorers within the region were Terrans of the Rule of Man.
- Evidence of Ancients activity exists within the sector.
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.
- IISS staff from the Spinward Marches and 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.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data regarding the sector has been determined:
Summary[edit]
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Fulani 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.
Rift Regions[edit]
A simple map showing rift regions within Fulani Sector.
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.
- Rifts present a significant obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
The sector is adjacent to the Idella Rift and the Helix Rift, vast empty expanses fringed by unpopulated wilderness systems.
Its spinward and rimward subsectors contain The Fissures, a complex of smaller rifts and voids.
- The Heart of Encha, lying to spinward, is supposedly the location of an uncharted space-time anomaly.
Borealis Group[edit]
The spinward-rimward skies of the Fulani Sector are dominated by the Borealis Group, a very large cluster of stars containing an unusually high number of stellar giants.
- 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 night skies within the region are spectacular.
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.
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.
- The Borealis Group contains significant amounts of gas and dust that reflects and refracts the light of the stars, giving it an ethereal glow.
Trade Routes[edit]
The Droyne have constructed the Tsehoynu Station, a large facility within an empty hex.
- It lies within hex 0218 of Rosorky Subsector.
- It is equivalent to a Class B Starport.
- It is entirely operated by Droyne personnel.
The Droyne shipyards on Naylyoeatru can manufacture up to Jump-2 range vessels.
- The station facilitates Droyne interaction with the Haddox Association in Astron Sector and with sophont species within the region.
- Its location is widely known and access is freely granted.

World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Fulani 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.
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.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Fulani Sector is a largely unpopulated and mostly undeveloped frontier. A few worlds within the region have never had an intelligent being visit them.
Native Sophonts: 1105[edit]
The following races (sophont species) are believed to have originated within this sector:

- Koseg of Albaen: cold-dwelling, semi-humanoid, heavily built, six-armed, white-pelted forest-dwellers with a notably dour nature and a fascination with craftsmanship.
- Nagad of Nagad: large flying serpentine egg-laying scavengers with two pairs of wings and manipulator tentacles, who live in a strict caste-based society and have an obsessive need to organize.
- Okyar of Evyet: small, aggressive, broadly humanoid fruit-eating tree dwellers with a dense pelt.
- Rusalkan of Siniokean: ocean floor-dwelling crablike nomads with a trilateral physiology, a complex caste system, and cut-throat mercantile instincts.

Historical Eras: 1105[edit]
The earliest interstellar activity in the sector seems to correspond to the Ancients era, between 300,000 and 250,000 years ago.
The Zhodani discovered jump drives in -5415 but they paid little attention to Fulani Sector. A few Zhodani vessels almost certainly travelled among its stars, but they have left almost no tangible traces. Zhodani activity within the sector has significantly increased over the past decades, but is minimal compared to activity in other regions around the Consulate.
As far as is known, the next interstellar visitors to the region were humans of Terran extraction. These hardy souls had pushed up through the Vilani First Imperium, past the emergent Vargr and across the narrow corridor of stars bridging the Great Rift, and into the vast unexplored territories "Behind the Claw". By the -1900s they had crossed the sector and continued their journey to spinward: settlements and discoveries from the era are known in Mavuzog Sector. For the most part, however, they left few traces within Fulani Sector.
This trickle of humanity slowed and then stopped during the Long Night.
In the Year 0 the Third Imperium was founded and over its first few centuries it expanded to spinward. From the 100s onward, small groups of Imperial humans began to move through the region, spreading their technology and use of jump drives. Few of this new wave of humans appears to have settled within the sector: like their Terran predecessors they instead continued further to spinward.
From 300 to 420 the Imperial First Survey was conducted. Mostly, this drew together previously scattered survey data and created a basic portrait of the sector. Much of the data related to star positions and types rather than world UWPs and left many blank areas on the map.
From 995 to 1065 the Imperial Second Survey was conducted. Fulani Sector was included in this grand work and a much more detailed picture of the region was built up, though a great deal still remains unknown. Almost all of the data was gathered via remote observation and from a careful collation of scattered records, though a few hardy IISS personnel undertook long and arduous journeys into the sector to gather first-hand data.
