Description (Specifications)[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Oasis Subsector:
Astrographic Features[edit]
The subsector is a generally unremarkable area lying within the Imperial Core.
- It is an average stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the orange bright giant primary of the Arising system.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Oasis 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.
Commercial Data[edit]

Trade Routes[edit]
A number of important trade routes lie within the region. High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels moving along them, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds.
The Mains and Clusters that lie within the subsector are referred to as The Network.
The Greater Massilia Main[edit]
Several of the subsector's trailing worlds are located on the Greater Massilia Main.
This is a major trade route lying along the trailing edge of Zarushagar Sector and the spinward edge of Massilia Sector.
- It has 128 member systems: 64 of these lie within Zarushagar and 64 lie within Massilia.
- The Main is host to four subsector capitals, two in each sector.
- Its worlds in Oasis Subsector are part of the Huon Arm, a named region of the larger main.

- Worlds on the Main are highlighted in green.
The Rhamsteppe-Mongrebi Main[edit]
A particular branch of the Main extending into this subsector is named, simply, the Oasis Cluster.
- The Cluster includes Zarushagar Sector's Research Station Beta, at Dothama.
