[[Muscida Subsector]] is Subsector P of [[Canopus Sector]].
 +
* It is an area of [[Balkanized Space]].
 +
* The [[rimward]] border of the [[Solomani Confederation]] runs through the region.
 +
* It is also known as ''[[Marrakesh Subsector]]''.

=== Astrographic Features ===
 +
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 orange giant primary of the [[Marrakesh (world)|Marrakesh system]].

==== Stellar Distribution ====

* 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 ====
 +
The subsector contains a single [[Rift|rift region]]:
 +
* The [[spinward]] half of the [[Marraki Rift]].

No information or synopsis yet available.  
+
Locally at least, a [[rift]] is an [[Astrography|astrographic]] and commercial concept based on [[Jump Drive]] performance.
 +
* Most commercial vessels typically use [[Jump Drive]]s capable of [[Jump Drive|Jump-3]] or less.
 +
* Areas that cannot be crossed by [[Jump Drive|Jump-3-capable]] vessels are denoted as ''[[rift]]s''.
 +
* [[Rift]]s represent a considerable obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Muscida 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 orange giant primary of the Marrakesh system.

Stellar Distribution[edit]

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Muscida 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]

The subsector contains a single rift region:

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic and commercial concept based on Jump Drive performance.

  • Most commercial vessels typically use Jump Drives capable of Jump-3 or less.
  • Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
  • Rifts represent a considerable obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.
