Description (Specifications)

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).

The Hunter Divide is a large region of lower stellar density lying within the central part of Theron Sector.

The Divide is part of the Idella Rift.

The Divide is considered to consist of four distinct regions:

• The Archers Drift.
• The Longdark.
• The Neck.
• The Joseph Reach.

What determines an area as a rift is 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.
• Locally, areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rift regions.
• The nature and borders of a rift may be determined by other criteria in different regions.

• A few deep-frozen rogue worlds may lie within its boundaries.

The Divide prevent routine travel by starships.
