• The older name is found on Solomani star charts dating to the Rule of Man, before the Long Night.
• The resources of the subsector are largely untapped.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105

• The subsector is a lower stellar density region.
• The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Mersiol system.
• No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.

Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Tempoko 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

Two rift areas lie within the subsector: the Idella Rift and the Joseph Reach.

• The Idella Rift occupies the spinward-coreward corner of the subsector.
• The Joseph Reach lies along the spinward edge of the region.

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

Borealis Group

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.
