Stellar Chorus Subsector is subsector J of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It falls within the Zhodani Shadow.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Stellar Chorus Subsector is a region of Balkanized Space. The Meichntid Ibl, to coreward, and the Carillon Harmonies, to rimward, are rivals over trade and influence.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Stellar Chorus Subsector:
- The subsector is an average stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Chtiejtlenz system.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
Official Data
A basic map showing the officially accepted distribution and size of stars within Stellar Chorus Subsector.
- 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).
Misidentified Stars
On Imperial star charts, the primary star of the Eov Stiavr system is incorrectly identified as a white dwarf stellar remnant.
This consistent error appears to date back to the time of the Imperial First Survey.
- Some authorities claim that it was a deliberate large scale effort to discourage interest in the system.
Ongoing study by the IISS has revealed the error, but this occurred after the publication of the Imperial Second Survey.
- Verified data confirming the exact nature of each star would command premium prices.
Updated Data
A basic map showing a more modern understanding of the distribution and size of stars within the subsector.
- 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.
Singing Stars of Yiklerzdanzh[edit]
The Singing Stars of Yiklerzdanzh is a name given to a group of giant stars lying within the Subsector.
The giant primary star of each system generates intense interference, strange tones and loud noises, and heavy static on commo and sensors.
- The frequency, amplitude, wave form and duration of the tones that each star produces are unique.
- The signals generated by the stars can be detected from across the sector and far beyond.
The noises and tones that the stars produce can sound like spoken words or like voices singing - speakers of Zdetl often claim to recognize distinct phrases within the sounds, repeating over and over.
- Many find these noises eerie or disturbing.
The stars, by chance, appear to form a choir of red- and white-colored "singers" facing a yellow-colored "conductor". The noise generated by the stars and their stellar positions serve to give the subsector its name.
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.
The Borealis Group contains significant amounts of gas and dust that reflects and refracts the light of the stars, giving it an ethereal glow.
The Hammer Cluster[edit]
The Hammer Cluster is a small cluster of worlds straddling the border between Stellar Chorus Subsector, Wyld Worlds Subsector, Dlarashtsalash Subsector, and Izh Kriezhlal Subsector.
- It contains 11 systems, 5 of which are barren and remain unclaimed.
- An additional secondary world in the Fafrekolefransh system is also detailed.
- It is named for the extremely luminous red bright giant star of the Hammer system.
- It lies between the Izrats Kriezhlas Unity and the Carillon Harmonies.
The Izrats Kriezhlas Unity has turned its eyes towards the worlds of the Cluster with a view to future settlement - two of the cluster's worlds have been established as Unity client states. The Carillon Harmonies have similar regional interests, which has increasingly brought them into conflict with the Vlazhdumecta. The Droyne enclave on Soyayt, on the trailing edge of the cluster, resents this increasing intrusion into their solitude.
- Military vessels from each interest patrol the cluster's systems.
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Stellar Chorus Subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map. However, note that some of this data is incorrect or out of date.
- World articles may have slightly different data: some elements of the data contained within articles has been updated.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Verified updated data is constantly sought.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
