Subsector A of Afawahisa Sector, deep in the Great Rift.

Description (Specifications)

To Imperials, this is known as the Captain Aesvall Subsector, named for an early explorer who supposedly charted much of the Great Rift. Aesvall's starcharts later become a byword for fraud and invention; much of the data turned out to be little more than rumours picked up in starport bars, and the rest pure invention.

The Rinean Shoal anomaly is located here.
