Semso Subsector is Subsector N of Chiep Zhez Sector.

• It lies within Charted Space.
• It is a lawless, undeveloped frontier.

Description / Specifications

Semso Subsector is a largely unpopulated and undeveloped wilderness. Some worlds within the region have never had an intelligent being visit them.

• The resources of the subsector are entirely untapped.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined:

• The subsector is a relatively low stellar density region.
• The brightest star in the subsector is the red giant primary of the Marapagas system.
• There is one rift region within the subsector.
• No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.

Stellar Distribution

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

Rift Regions

One rift area lies within the subsector: the Marapagas Void.

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

The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to rimward-trailing.

• 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.
