Rdrefrn-40 Subsector is Subsector J of Fulani Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is a wild and dangerous wilderness.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Rdrefrn-40 Subsector is an undeveloped backwater region that sees few visitors.
- The resources of the subsector are for the most part untapped.
On older star charts it may be referred to as Prate Subsector, a name that is still fairly commonly used.
- The Zdetl abbreviation "Rdrefrn", usually pronounced Red-reh-fren, loosely translates as "Tertiary Administrative Region".
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Rdrefrn-40 Subsector:
- The subsector is an low stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the yellow subgiant primary of the Khikan system.
- Three rift regions lie within the subsector: the Jdin Zur, the Jdin Pav, and the Janzya Rift.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Rdrefrn-40 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.
Rift Regions[edit]
A simple map showing rift regions within Rdrefrn-40 Subsector, right:
- They are part of the complex of voids and rifts that form The Fissures, a region of the Idella Rift.
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-rimward.
- 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.
