Haddox Subsector is Subsector H of Astron Sector.

  • It lies within Charted Space.
  • It is a remote but developing frontier.

Description / Specifications[edit]

Haddox Subsector is a lightly populated region with a number of settled worlds. Some of the more remote worlds within the region have never had an intelligent being visit them.

Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Haddox Subsector:

Stellar Distribution[edit]

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

Rift Regions[edit]

One large rift area lies within the subsector: the Asmapor Void.

  • The Void extends into the rimward edge of the subsector.
  • It is considered to be part of The Gulfs, an extended region of the Idella Rift.

A simple map showing rift regions within Haddox Subsector, right:

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.

Borealis Group[edit]

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

World Listing: 1105[edit]

Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Haddox 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:

18 Worlds in the Haddox Subsector
Chiashaz  •  Eiavfij  •  Elvator  •  Gheyathi  •  Haddox  •  Jileso  •  Mathas  •  Merin Sar  •  Nevi  •  Pliadri  •  Przhed  •  Pwica  •  Qikiqtani  •  Sunset (As 2816)  •  Thuverhi  •  Tleiaprdab  •  Venko's Moon  •  Ziabi  •  

Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.

  • Verified updated data is constantly sought.

Subsector Summary: 1105[edit]

Note that this section is awaiting an AAB Interal Records update.
