The following astrographic features and trade routes can be found within this subsector:

Astrographic Features

The following astrographic data has been determined regarding Mora Subsector:

• The subsector is a slightly below average stellar density region.
• The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Brodie system.

Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Mora Subsector.

• 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.

Trade Routes

The Spinward Main

The Spinward Main is the arterial trade route within the Spinward Marches.

High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels laden with goods, commodities, and luxuries move along it, bound for the thriving markets of its member worlds.

• Worlds on the Main are marked in green.

Local Worlds

The Main runs through the center of the subsector, dominating local trade and commerce.

Traces and Clusters

The Palique Cluster lies along the rimward edge of the subsector.

• It is named for Palique, a high tech, high population industrial world.

Driving this interstellar trade are two Agricultural (Ag) worlds, two Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, one Pre-Industrial (Pi) world, one Rich (Ri) world, and three Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Mora maintain eight Scout bases and four Naval bases. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 6 and 11).
