World Details: 1105

Detailed UWP data for all the worlds listed within the subsector can be retrieved from Theta Borealis Sector data files.

• The first listed world lying within the subsector occupies hex 1701.
• The last listed world lying within the subsector occupies hex 2407.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined:

Uncharted Anomaly

The "Enigma of Theta Borealis" is a mysterious astrographic feature.

• It is believed to be an uncharted space-time anomaly
• Its precise location, nature, and characteristics remain unknown.
  • It is believed to lie across parts of Monway Subsector and Banderhue Subsector.

Thetan Void

The Thetan Void is a rift region of very low stellar density.

• The Void primarily lies within Sibigil Subsector, with its fringes just within Monway Subsector, Banderhue Subsector, and Phoenix Subsector.
• The Void measures around 10 parsecs spinward-trailing by around 8 parsecs coreward-rimward.
• It is a significant barrier to interstellar travel
• It serves as a natural line of defense for the Trooles Confederation against the Korsumug Empire.
• Its spinward end is known as the Korsumug Gate.

Borealis Group

The subsector forms part of the Borealis Group, a gigantic, broadly spherical cluster of stars centered on Theta Borealis Sector.

• It is a distinctive, extremely bright feature that can be easily observed from all across Charted Space.
• It is more than 40 parsecs in diameter.
• It contains an unusually high number of giant stars.
• It is the density of giant stars within the region, rather than their individual brightness, that makes the feature so prominent.

The night-time skies of all of the worlds across the region are studded with a panoply of colorful, intensely bright stars.

• Some are so bright that they can be clearly seen from planetary surfaces during daylight hours.
• The brightest is Theta Borealis, an unstable, violent, blue-white bright supergiant with a luminosity of around 73,000 sols.
• Other extremely bright stars within the cluster include Sigma Borealis, Tau Borealis, Epsilon Borealis, Mu Borealis, and Kappa Borealis.
• While the cluster contains many extremely luminous giant stars, Theta B is exponentially brighter than any of the others.

Chains of giant stars trail out from the cluster into many of the surrounding sectors.

• Monway Subsector lies to coreward-trailing of the clusters core.

Stellar Distribution

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

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).

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.

Subsector Summary: 1105

Monway, subsector C of Theta Borealis, contains 25 worlds with an estimated combined population of 11 billion, a per capita income of Cr2,245, and a total economy of BCr26,189. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr261 through 18 starports (3 Class A, 6 Class B, 5 Class C, 4 Class D) employing 28,500 people. Driving this interstellar trade are three Agricultural (Ag) worlds, two Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, four Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Monway maintain one Naval base and one Scout base. The average technology level is 7 (with most between 4 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Nedric (Theta Borealis 1903).

Monway, subsector C of Theta Borealis, contains 37 stars and 241 identified planets; 17 monostellar systems, five binary systems, two trinary systems, and one system with four or more stars. 10 of the 25 systems (40%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, one Desert (De) world, one Garden (Ga) world, two Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, three Poor (Po) worlds, three Vacuum (Va) worlds, and three Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Monway has an estimated population of 11 billion distributed across two High population (Hi) worlds, three Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 13 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, three Low population (Lo) worlds, and one Barren (Ba) world. The highest population worlds are Basgem (Theta Borealis 2208) and Hevad (Theta Borealis 1906). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups.

Non-Aligned, Human-dominated

There are 21 Non-Aligned Human-dominated worlds in Monway with an estimated combined population of 11 billion.

Trooles Confederation

The Trooles Confederation has jurisdiction over four worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of less than 1 million, a per capita income of Cr0, and a total economy of BCr0. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr0 through 3 starports (0 Class A, 1 Class B, 1 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 15 people. Driving this interstellar trade are no Agricultural (Ag) worlds, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds. The average technology level is 8 (with most between 6 and 10). The highest technology level is 12 at Nedric (Theta Borealis 1903).
