Ftyeeta Subsector is Subsector L of Iphigenaia Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It lies on the coreward boundary of the Great Rift.
- It was formerly known as Far Reach Subsector.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Ftyeeta Subsector is an unpopulated wilderness that rarely sees visitors.
- The original name dates back to the Rule of Man, before the Long Night.
- The resources of the subsector are completely untapped.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Ftyeeta Subsector:
- The subsector is a low stellar density region lying adjacent to a rift stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Sarekis system.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Ftyeeta 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]
Two rift regions lie within the Subsector: the Great Rift and the False Rift.
- The Great Rift occupies the rimward half of the subsector.
- It extends to rimward for around 60 parsecs.
- Its rimward edge forms a natural boundary to the Aslan Hierate.
The False Rift lies along the coreward edge of the subsector.
- As a rule a rift must cover ten or more contiguous hexes and have a depth of at least three hexes to qualify as a distinct astrographic feature.
- The False Rift, as the name implies, covers only eight hexes, technically disqualifying it from inclusion.
- The rift has traditionally been included in astrogation charts: this work seeks to continue that long tradition.
A simple map showing rift regions within Ftyeeta 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.
- 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[edit]
The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to Spinward.
- 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.
World Listing: 1105[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Eikaoweal 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:
10 Worlds in the Ftyeeta Subsector
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.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Ftyeeta Subsector is a remote and empty wilderness lying on the very edge of the Great Rift. A few traces of early travellers remain within its borders.
Throughout almost all of its history it has been wilderness, very occasionally visited by explorers and scouts from the civilized worlds of Touchstone Sector.
In the 1000s increasing numbers of Aslan explorers and pioneers were active in the area.
During the 1060s, an Aslan Ihatei fleet, carrying many millions of immigrants, passed through the subsector. Its trailing worlds continue to serve as an Aslan migration route, as idealistic Second Sons make their way to the wild coreward frontier to win honor and glory.
Polity Listing: 1105[edit]
No polities exist within this subsector.
Native Sophonts (NILs): 1105[edit]
No races (sophont species) are believed to have originated within this subsector.
Demographics: 1105[edit]
The subsector is uninhabited.
Major Historical Events Timeline: 1105[edit]
- ca -1900: The first known human explorers are active in the region (a few Terrans of the Rule of Man). They may have passed through the subsector in their travels.
- -1776: The Long Night begins.
- Year 0: Far to trailing, across the Great Rift, the Third Imperium is founded.
- 100s-200s: A few pioneering Imperial explorers pass through the sector. There are indications that they journeyed through the area.
- 300-420: The First Survey charts the subsector.
- 995-1065: The Second Survey charts the subsector.
- 1065: The Second Survey is published.
