_Star_Chart.png)
The subsector is a largely empty frontier lying on the very edge of the Great Rift.
Astrographic Features[edit]
The following astrographic features and trade routes can be found within this subsector:
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Edge Subsector, right:
- 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.
Rifts and Voids[edit]
The subsector lies on the trailing edge of the Great Rift.
- The rift hinders travel and commerce within the region.
- It has placed a boundary on Imperial settlement and expansion within the area.
A simple map showing the general extent of the Great Rift, right:
The nature and limits of the rift may be determined by different criteria in different regions.
- Generally, its boundaries are based on jump performance.
- Areas may traditionally be considered rift regions, even though all of their worlds are accessible to ships equipped with high performance drives.
