Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Keflin 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.

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.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

During the 1060s, an Aslan ihatei fleet, carrying many millions of immigrants, flooded into the subsector, laid claim to the trailing parts of it, and established the Kyatulyare Vassal State.
