'''Ngathksirz''' Sector is a long-settled [[Vargr]]-dominated region lying to [[coreward]] of the [[Third Imperium]].
 +
* It lies within ''Vargr Space'' and is part of the [[Vargr Extents]].
 +
* It is particularly noted for the extremely large, bright stars that lie within its borders.

n/a
+
Ngathksirz (pronounced Nag-ATH-kissers), in the ''[[Aekhu]]'' language, translates as ''Bone-Gnawer''.
  
−
=== Ngathksirz (Synopsis) Toponyms ===
+
=== Astrographic Features ===
 +
The following [[astrographic feature|astrographic]] and [[trade route|commercial]] data regarding the sector has been determined:
 +
* Most of the sector is considered to be standard stellar density: the [[spinward]]-[[coreward]] and central parts of the sector are low stellar density regions, while the [[rimward]]-[[trailing]] parts are generally higher stellar density.
 +
* The brightest star in the sector is the blue-white supergiant primary of the [[Kfeth Erraen Khukhrrar (world)|Kfeth Erraen Khukhrrar system]].
 +
* Major [[Rift|rift regions]] include the [[Kfirzin Reach]], the [[Ngathksirz Void]], and the [[Uengou Rift]].
 +
* Important [[trade route]]s include the [[Roenvoegazdu Chain]] and [[Oegerag-Serrken Main]].
 +
 
 +
==== Stellar Distribution ====
 +
A basic map showing the distribution and size of [[star]]s within Ngathksirz Sector.
 +
* 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.
 +
 
 +
[[File:Chart Ngathksirz Stellar Distribution Final.png|400 px]] <br> (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 sector and far beyond.
 +
* The sector contains a high number of giant stars, an astronomical phenomenon some authorities believe to be related to the presence and nature of the [[Windhorn Rift]].
 +
 
 +
==== Rifts and Voids ====
 +
[[File:Chart Ngathksirz Rift Regions Final 1.png|350 px|right|thumbnail|(Chart sourced from [[Traveller Map]])]]
 +
 
 +
The sector contains a complex of [[Rift|rifts and voids]] associated with the [[Windhorn Rift]].
 +
* [[Windhorn Rift|These minor rift]]s hinder travel and commerce across the region.
 +
 
 +
Locally at least, a rift is an [[Astrography|astrographic]] concept based on [[Jump Drive]] performance.
 +
 
 +
The boundaries of rifts were established centuries ago, when the highest commonly encountered [[Technology Level|tech level]] was {{TL|12}}.
 +
* This level of technology allowed the routine use of up to [[Jump Drive|Jump-3 drives]].
 +
* Areas that couldn't be crossed by [[Jump Drive|Jump-3-capable]] vessels were denoted as ''[[rift]]s''.
 +
 
 +
This traditional definition of rift regions remains in use today: while modern high performance [[starship]]s can easily cross them, most commercial vessels continue to utilize [[Jump Drive|Jump-3 or less]] drives. Because of this most traffic is concentrated within higher stellar density regions, and as such the classic definition and boundaries of rift regions remains relevant.
 +
 
 +
A simple map showing the general extent of the [[Windhorn Rift]]:

[[File:Gzugzo Lines.jpg|150px]] [[File:Vargr general.png|150px]] [[File:Naasirka.png|150 px]]
 +
* Most goods that are transported around the [[coreward]] edge of the [[Windhorn Rift]] are carried by ''[[Gzugzo Lines]]'', a [[Windhorn Sector|Windhorn-based]] corporation. It operates services within the [[rimward]] edge Ngathksirz Sector.
 +
* ''[[Knouksarrgh Ong]]'', a [[Vargr]] corporation based in [[Provence Sector]], operates within the region.
 +
* The {{Imperial}} [[Megacorporation]] ''[[Naasirka]]'' maintains a small presence within the sector.
 +
 
 +
=== Vargr Corsairs ===
 +
[[Vargr]] [[Corsair]] bands can pose a considerable risk to interstellar trade and commerce within the sector.
 +
 
 +
[[File:Vargr Corsair Flaming Eye.jpg|600px]]
 +
* Corsairs can often be negotiated with and many accept tribute in return for safe passage through their territory.
 +
* Vessels and crews are advised to travel armed and ready to defend themselves.

 +
* It has 86 member systems.
 +
* It lies entirely within the [[Empire of Varroerth]], a major [[Vargr]] [[polity]].
 +

 +
 
 +
A basic chart of this [[main]] is shown, ''right'':
 +
* Worlds lying on [[Main|the Chain]] are highlighted in tan.
 +
 
 +
----
 +
 
 +
=== World Listings ===
 +
Comprehensive [[Second Survey]] [[UWP|UWP data]] for all worlds lying within the sector is available.
 +
* The primary source material for all data is [[Traveller Map]].
 +
* Other sources may contain contradictory or incorrect information.
 +
 
 +
{{SectorWorlds2|Ngathksirz|Sector}}
 +
 
 +
Note that some [[Second Survey]] data, though only [[Year|40 years]] old, is likely to be out of date.
 +
* Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
 +
* Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
 +
* Verified updated data is constantly sought.

Ngathksirz Sector is a long-settled Vargr-dominated region lying to coreward of the Third Imperium.

  • It lies within Vargr Space and is part of the Vargr Extents.
  • It is particularly noted for the extremely large, bright stars that lie within its borders.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

Ngathksirz (pronounced Nag-ATH-kissers), in the Aekhu language, translates as Bone-Gnawer.

Astrographic Features[edit]

The following astrographic and commercial data regarding the sector has been determined:

Stellar Distribution[edit]

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

  • 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 sector and far beyond.
  • The sector contains a high number of giant stars, an astronomical phenomenon some authorities believe to be related to the presence and nature of the Windhorn Rift.

Rifts and Voids[edit]

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

The sector contains a complex of rifts and voids associated with the Windhorn Rift.

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.

The boundaries of rifts were established centuries ago, when the highest commonly encountered tech level was TL–12.

This traditional definition of rift regions remains in use today: while modern high performance starships can easily cross them, most commercial vessels continue to utilize Jump-3 or less drives. Because of this most traffic is concentrated within higher stellar density regions, and as such the classic definition and boundaries of rift regions remains relevant.

A simple map showing the general extent of the Windhorn Rift:

Economic Astrography[edit]

Corporations[edit]

Several major corporations operate within the sector:

Vargr Corsairs[edit]

Vargr Corsair bands can pose a considerable risk to interstellar trade and commerce within the sector.

  • Corsairs can often be negotiated with and many accept tribute in return for safe passage through their territory.
  • Vessels and crews are advised to travel armed and ready to defend themselves.

Trade Routes[edit]

A number of trade routes exist within this area. Of these, the most important are:

Oegerag-Serrken Main[edit]

The rimward-trailing worlds of the sector are members of the Oegerag-Serrken Main, a major local trade route.

A basic chart of the main is shown, right:

  • Worlds lying on the Main are highlighted in green.

Roenvoegazdu Chain[edit]

The central-trailing worlds of the sector are members of the Roenvoegazdu Chain, an important local trade route.

A basic chart of this main is shown, right:

  • Worlds lying on the Chain are highlighted in tan.

World Listings[edit]

Comprehensive Second Survey UWP data for all worlds lying within the sector is available.

  • The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
