SUSBSECTOR NAMES[edit]
A careful analysis of the 1991 Updates of Chuck Kallenbach's The Beyond Library Data and stellar/world data gives us a good idea of the layout (for the 1991 updates) of most of the subsector name rearrangements/changes from the original 1980/1981 publication.
With a bit of educated guesswork, it would appear that the intent was as follows:
THE BEYOND (PP 1991):
| Mapepire (A) . |
Bruhkarr (B) . |
Weltenbund (C) . |
I'Sred*Ni (D) . |
| Subsector Delta (E) . |
Metchi'Alagwa ("Many Stars") (F) . |
Liberty Hall (G) . |
Darkling Regions (H) . |
| Zydar (I) . |
Mal'Gnar (J) *OR* Middle Beyond (J) |
Storm (K) . |
Araniopa (L) . |
| Delta Cephei (M) *OR* Spinward Drift (M) |
Spinward Drift (N) *OR* Mal'Gnar (N) |
I-Glathriel (O) . |
Aslani (P) . |
- Subsector A: Mapepire
- Subsector B: Bruhkarr - ("Liberty Hall" moved to Subsector G) / ("Princiaplity of Bruhkarr" replaced "Der Weltenbund")
- Subsector C: Weltenbund - ("Drak'Arr Alliance" located here)
- Subsector D: I'Sred*Ni - (I'Sred*Ni Web moved here from Subsector K)
- Subsector E: Subsector Delta
- Subsector F: Metchi'Alagwa ("Many Stars")
- Subsector G: Liberty Hall - (World "Liberty Hall" moved here from Subsector B)
- Subsector H: Darkling Regions - ("Florian League" located here)
- Subsector I: Zydar
- Subsector J: Mal'Gnar Sted *OR* Middle Beyond - (Mal'Gnar polity moved to Subsector J/N border from Subsector D)
- Subsector K: Storm - (World "Stormhaven" (and polity) moved here from Subsector O)
- Subsector L: Araniopa
- Subsector M: Delta Cephei *OR* Spinward Drift - (Star "Delta Cephei" located here)
- Subsector N: Spinward Drift *OR* Mal'Gnar Sted - (World "Spindrift" located here) / (Spinward Drift shifted over one slot trailing from Subsector M because I-Glathriel Subsector was moved one slot trailing) *OR* (Mal'Gnar polity moved to Subsector J/N border from Subsector D)
- Subsector O: I-Glathriel - (Shifted over one slot trailing from Subsector N because Storm Subsector was moved one slot coreward)
- Subsector P: Aslani
That leaves us with the following Subsector names unused from the former 1981 material:
For The Beyond PP-1991, I have made the following identifications beyond the canonical ones already noted above:
- Since Liberty Hall has been canonically moved to Subsector G, and Subsector B is noted as the location of the "Principality of Bruhkarr" (replacing the former "Der Weltenbund" polity of Subsector B/C, with a new small polity called the "Drak'Arr Alliance" specified in Subsector C), I have left Subsector C as Weltenbund, and renamed Subsector B as "Bruhkarr".
- Stormhaven (and a new Republic) and Storm Subsector have been canonically moved to Subsector K (and G), requiring a replacement for Subsector O. The easiest solution is to bump I-Glathriel Subsector over to trailing one subsector to Subsector O, and likewise bump Spinward Drift to trailing one subsector as well to Subsector N (Subsector N has a world named "Spindrift"). That leaves Subsector M needing a name. But Subsector M canonically contains the star Delta Cephei (back from the 1981 publication), which works well for a name, and is also the name of one of the subsectors in the Mongoose version (though in a different subsector location because Geir Lanesskog recalculated the distance and bearing of Delta Cephei from Earth).
- The Mal'Gnar Primarchic has been canonically moved to Subsector J and renamed the Mal'Gnar Sted, and the stars have lost their "Radiant" formation.
- The I'Sred*Ni Heptad has been canonically moved to Subsector D.
Also, what used to be the Aslan Polity known as the "Jarnac Pashalic" straddling the Vanguard Reaches & The Beyond in Subsector M is now explicitly referred to as the "Hefrin Colonies" in line with other Sunbane material that Jeff Zeitlin compiled, though post-1150's (Collapse/TNE) Era this region becomes settled by the Murians from Spinward. (What was the old Jarnac Pashalic is now apparently the Aslan Colony ("Kyatulyare Vassal") that juts into Subsector O of Vanguard Reaches from Rimward Keflin Subsector/Iphigenaia Sector).
