• It lies within Charted Space.
• It is part of the Vargr Extents.

Description / Specifications

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

Thon Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by Vargr.

• The resources of the subsector are being exploited.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Thon Subsector:

• The subsector is a rift density region.
• The brightest star is the white main sequence primary of the Naeztir system.
• No trade routes are known to pass through the subsector.

Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Thon 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.

Rifts and Voids

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

The subsector lies within the spinward edge of the Windhorn Rift.

• The rift hinders travel and commerce within the region.
• It has placed a boundary on settlement and expansion within the area.

A simple map showing the general extent of the Windhorn Rift, right:

• Lair, the Vargr homeworld, is marked in red.
• Vland, the Vilani homeworld, is marked in green.

The nature and limits of the rift may be determined by different criteria in different regions.

• Generally, its boundaries are based on jump performance.
• Areas may traditionally be considered rift regions, even though all of their worlds are accessible to ships equipped with high performance drives.

Subsector Timeline

Major events that have affected this subsector and the wider region that it lies within:

• ca -250,000: The Ancients were active within the sector, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
• -9235: the Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
• -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
• -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
• -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
• ca -2350: the Foergaz Coalition, an early polity, collapses.
• ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
• -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
• The Year 0: to rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
• circa 26: the Empire of Varroerth is founded.
• 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the subsector.
• 777: the Lair Protectorate is established.
• 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the subsector.
• 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the subsector becomes widely available.
• 1095: Faarzgaen extremists capture a number of worlds and secede from the Empire of Varroerth. They declare a Jihad against neighbouring worlds.
• 1096: the Province of Llaeghskath secedes from the Empire of Varroerth, becoming the Llaeghskath Interacterate.

These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr2 through 2 starports (0 Class A, 0 Class B, 2 Class C, 0 Class D) employing 380 people. Driving this interstellar trade are no Agricultural (Ag) worlds, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world.

Thon, subsector H of Provence, contains two stars and 19 identified planets; two monostellar systems, no binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 2 of the two systems (100%) have native gas giants.
