Description (Specifications)[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Triton Subsector:
Astrographic Features[edit]
The subsector is a generally unremarkable area lying within the Imperial Core.
- It is an average stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the orange giant primary of the Riou system.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Triton 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.

A number of important trade routes lie within the region. High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels moving along them, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds.
The Mains and Clusters that lie within the sector are referred to as The Network.
Vilani Run[edit]
The Vilani Run includes the majority of the worlds within the subsector. Thousands of years ago, it was a route Vilani pioneers and traders used to spread to rimward.
A basic chart of the Vilani Run is shown, right:
- Worlds lying on the Run are highlighted in green.
Security & Defense[edit]
The worlds of the region are patrolled by the Imperial Navy. It defends Imperial territory and interests, suppresses piracy, and ensures trade and commerce.
- The Imperial 102nd Fleet is active within the subsector.
- Imperial vessels may demand customs inspections.
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Triton Subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Triton Subsector is located along a significant J-1 Trade Main, but it's economy still has yet to take off.
- There is a two parsec gap in the rimward area of the subsector that requires a jump bridge to further capitalize on interstellar traffic.
- The local Imperial nobility is still looking for ways to finance that major project.
- Sternbach was the most populated world by far, with 9 billion of the subsector’s 10.9 billion inhabitants.
The subsector duke is still looking for ways to attract Bwap immigration.
