 +
The subsector is a frontier, lying entirely within the [[Great Rift]].

 +
* 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.
 +
 
 +
