Quadrant 01-569 is Subsector M of Theron Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is a lightly settled frontier.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Quadrant 01-569 was a backward region with a stagnant economy. The majority of activity within the subsector occured along its coreward edge. However, with the recent Aslan territorial claims on worlds within the region, military activity and commercial interest has dramatically increased.
- The resources of the subsector are for the most part untapped.
Aslan Ihatei have claimed empty worlds on the rimward edge of the subsector.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Quadrant 01-569:
- The subsector is a lower stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the blue-white main sequence primary of the Orisso system.
- There are multiple rift regions within the subsector
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Quadrant 01-569.
- 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.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
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.
Rift Regions[edit]
Two rift areas lie within the subsector: the Orisso Gap and the Nimrod Rift.
- The Orisso Gap, a named part of the Great Rift, occupies the spinward half of the subsector.
- The Nimrod Rift lies along the trailing side of the subsector.
- The Nimrod Rift is part of The Gulfs, a complex of smaller rifts and voids that form part of the Idella Rift.

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.
The highest tech level commonly encountered out this Far Along (spinward of the Third Imperium) is TL–12, though a few worlds may be more advanced.
- This level of technology allows the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
- Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
Borealis Group[edit]
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.
World Listing: 1105[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Quadrant 01-569 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.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
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.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1105[edit]
- ca -1900: The first known human explorers are active in the region (a few Terrans of the Rule of Man). They largely continue to spinward.
- -1776: The Long Night begins.
- Year 0: Far to trailing, across the Great Rift, the Third Imperium is founded.
- 100s-200s: A few pioneering Imperial explorers pass through the subsector, making contact with long-isolated worlds and cultures.
- 300-420: First Survey charts the subsector.
- 995-1065: Second Survey charts the subsector.
- 1065: the Second Survey is published.
