Khtaoh Subsector is Subsector M of Canopus Sector.
- It is an Aslan-dominated region of Balkanized Space.
- It is considered to be part of Aslan Space.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Khtaoh Subsector:
Astrographic Features[edit]
The subsector is a generally unremarkable region of Balkanized Space on the rimward border of the Solomani Confederation.
- It is an average stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the blue-white main sequence primary of the Teloi' system.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Khtaoh 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.
Economic Astrography[edit]
The following commercial and economic data regarding the subsector is available:
Corporations[edit]
Corporations and organizations active within the sector include:
- ConTech, a corporation specializing in life sciences, particularly large-scale bio-terraforming projects, medicine, and cloning.
- Guardian Military Systems, a large corporation involved in defense and armaments manufacture, with its core area of operations within Canopus Sector.
- Lamarck Minerals, a corporation with a relatively small core area of operations in the Solomani Rim, but with growing interests in resource extraction and processing throughout the Solomani Sphere.
- Layaefui, an Aslan corporation that specializes in exploration, scouting, and surveying.
- Orion Metallurgy Corporation (OMC), engaged in resource exploration, extraction, and processing throughout the Solomani Sphere.
- Panstellar, a major transport and logistics corporation.
- Probable Technologies, a scientific research organization involved with academia and heavy industry. It works extensively with the Confederation military.
- Rising Phoenix News Service (RPNS), the premier news and media organization within the Solomani Sphere. It has a strong pro-Confederation bias.
- Solomani Maschinenbau (SolMan) AG, a corporation with interests in heavy engineering and starship manufacture throughout the spinward half of the Confederation.
- Solomani Shipping, a major transport and logistics corporation.
- Transstar, a Solomani megacorporation specializing in transport and logistics. It operates across 13 sectors, represented by the 13 stars in its logo.
- ZeeCorp, a corporation with interests in manufacturing active throughout the Solomani Confederation. It is a major producer of robots.
Goods[edit]
Notable local commodities include:
- (none currently listed)
Security & Defense[edit]
The worlds of the sector are patrolled by the Solomani Navy. It defends Confederation territory, protects Confederation interests, suppresses piracy, and ensures interstellar trade and commerce.
- Confederation vessels may demand customs inspections.
- Some systems are defended by local naval forces.
Trade Routes[edit]
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the clusters and traces of the subsector, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds. Jump-2 and Jump-3 feeder routes work their ways around the rifts and voids that dot the region, linking the various clusters and traces.
Clusters & Traces[edit]
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that lie within Khtaoh 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.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Solomani State and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Aslan are uniformly less likely to be cooperative with Solomani interests, but almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, while others can be manipulated or coerced.
- SolSec actively competes against rival intelligence agencies in areas beyond the Confederation's borders.

Subsector Summary[edit]
Khtaoh, subsector M of Canopus, contains 28 worlds with an estimated combined population of 14 billion, a per capita income of Cr5,653, and a total economy of BCr84,467. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr196 through 21 starports (6 Class A, 7 Class B, 4 Class C, 4 Class D) employing 65,640 people. Driving this interstellar trade are three Agricultural (Ag) worlds, six Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, four Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and three Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Khtaoh maintain four Naval bases. The average technology level is 10 (with most between 8 and 12). The highest technology level is 13 at Teloi' (Canopus 0633), Auric (Canopus 0639), Oiyuil (Canopus 0733), Aekhar (Canopus 0734), Yuhtalikel (Canopus 0739), and Yulreale (Canopus 0832).
Khtaoh, subsector M of Canopus, contains 34 stars and 270 identified planets; 22 monostellar systems, six binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 27 of the 28 systems (96%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, two Desert (De) worlds, one Garden (Ga) world, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, three Poor (Po) worlds, six Vacuum (Va) worlds, and three Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.
Khtaoh has an estimated population of 14 billion distributed across three High population (Hi) worlds, three Moderate population (Ph) worlds, 16 Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, four Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Oiyuil (Canopus 0733), Hliy'oieaer (Canopus 0236), and Kaihkahe (Canopus 0431). The population consists primarily of 2 sophont groups.
