Jungleblut Subsector is subsector O of Far Frontiers Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It falls within the Zhodani Shadow.
- Some older star-charts (especially within the Trelyn Domain) have referred to this subsector as the Kajaani Subsector. [1]
Description / Specifications[edit]
Jungleblut Subsector is a region of Balkanized Space lying within the rimward half of Far Frontiers Sector.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Jungleblut 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.
Trelyn Main[edit]
The Trelyn Main passes through the rimward-trailing edge of the subsector.
- It has 23 member systems.
The Main lies almost entirely within the Trelyn Domain, a strongly pro-Imperial state. The only systems on the Main that aren't members of the Domain are Fomor (a member of the Domain of Alntzar, in this subsector), and Dictic, a non-aligned world at its far trailing edge.
A basic chart of the Main is shown, right:
Uldor's Reach[edit]
Uldor's Reach is a small main that runs through the center of the subsector.
- It has 18 member systems.

World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Antideluvia subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Verified updated data is constantly sought.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
During the 7th and 8th centuries the Dominion of Alntzar was the dominant force in the region, controlling 28 systems at its height, but it was split by dissent and internal warfare in the early 800s.
