WillWlmo Subsector is Subsector P of Theron Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is a settled and developing region.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
WillWlmo Subsector is a long-settled region with a stable economy.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
- There is regular trade and commerce.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding WillWlmo Subsector:
- The subsector is a lower stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the orange subgiant primary of the Mauritania system.
- There are multiple rift regions within the subsector
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within WillWlmo 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.

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[edit]
Two rift areas lie within the subsector: the Koronat Void and the Great Rift.
- The Koronat Void covers the spinward-coreward corner of the subsector.
- The subsector lies on the edge of the Great Rift.
- The Koronat Void is part of The Gulfs, a complex of smaller rifts and voids that form part of the Idella Rift.
- The subsector is considered to be the region where the Idella Rift and the Great Rift meet.

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.
Aslan Exploration Route[edit]
The Aslan appear to have found a means of crossing the rimward edge of the subsector.
The Aslan may have established an exploration route along the edge of the Great Rift.
- They appear to be using isolated systems and a hidden fuel cache, likely located within hex 2901 of Waoasi Subsector (Subsector D of Faoheiroi'iyhao Sector).
- If it really exists, the route relies on Jump-5 vessels.
Aslan would likely use the route to communicate with and supply their explorers, pioneers, and scattered outposts within the region.
- The existence of the route and the fuel cache have not been proven.

- Rift regions are shown in blue.
- Known Aslan outposts and settlements are ringed in red.
Borealis Group[edit]
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.
World Listing: 1105[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within WillWlmo 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.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
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.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
WillWlmo Subsector is a remote but settled region with a long history of introversion and isolationism.
Its coreward systems formed part of an ancient Muirimi state called the "Roshanee Kee Ekata", or the "Unity of Light".
- It was more commonly called the "Unity of Stars".
- It was home to reclusive sects of monks dedicated to achieving personal enlightenment and unlocking inner powers.
- It was sometimes referred to as "Far Tibet".
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
The Muirimi were citizens of the Old Earth Union, in the Solomani Rim, during the Long Night. Their culture was centered on the religious belief of Sitaraism: they gained considerable antipathy due to their views on possessions, private ownership, and territorial rights. They fled Terra aboard a number of large starships during the -200s and somehow made it across Charted Space, finally settling in the isolated wildernesses of Iphigenaia Sector and Theron Sector sometime around -100.
The Unity of Stars was founded shortly after 200. It survived almost unchanged for centuries before surrendering its independence to form the Regency, in order to better deal with the growing Aslan menace in the region.
