Notes (2025)[edit]

If we are going to go with Ahkiweahi' Sector as the canonical location of The Pleiades based upon the apparent prior identification in a purported prior work identifying this Sector as the Seven Sisters Sector (which I am fine with), I would also suggest "moving" the subsector name of Subsector P of Holowon Sector (Subaru Subsector) to the subsector in this Sector that contains The Pleiades before Holowon gets significantly developed (at the moment Holowon is little more than a place-holder Sector with two unlinked Subector names amidst undetailed and unnamed subsectors). "Subaru" is the Japanese name for The Pleiades. It fits better here anyway.

I would suggest one of the Gamma Quadrant Subsectors, or the Rimward Octant of the Delta Quadrant. The best placement would probably be one of the "void" regions on Traveller Map straddling the Subsector M/N interface, the Subsector K/O interface, or Rimward O or Rimward P Subsector, as the cluster (which spans 4.5 pc and whose core is 2.5 pc contains upwards of 1000 stars, and would be a navigational hazard / jump dead-zone due to masking (there would be no planets there, and nobody would live there or go there, so its stars would not likely be listed on trade routes jump-maps).
