Palasha Subsector is subsector H of Massilia Sector.
- It is an Imperial core region that has been settled for millennia.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Palasha 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 red giant primary of the Rudeen system.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Palasha 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.
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 Delphi Main[edit]
Most of the worlds of the subsector lie on the Delphi Main. The main has 95 member worlds and runs between Massilia and Delphi Sectors.
A basic chart of the Main is shown, right:
- Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in green.
The Forquee Cluster[edit]
One world, on the spinward edge of the subsector, is a member of the Forquee Cluster. The cluster has 30 member systems.
A basic chart of the Cluster is shown, right:
- Worlds lying within the cluster are highlighted in tan.
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Palasha Subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
