Monway Subsector is Subsector C of Theta Borealis Sector.

• It lies within Charted Space.
• On older surveys it may be referred to as the Monway Quadrant.

Description (Specifications)

Monway Subsector is a settled region on the frontier of Balkanized Space.

• The resources of the subsector are being exploited.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined:

• The subsector is a relatively low stellar density region.
• A small rift region lies within the subsector.
• The brightest star is the white giant primary of the Pacadia system.
• The Trooles Confederation maintain a communications route along the Korsumug Main.

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.

Rift Regions

One small rift area lies within the subsector: the coreward part of the Thetan Void.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

World Listing

Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Festab 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:
